July 23, 1912 — March 6, 2008
Eleanor Fern Kischel Hoyt, 95, died on Thursday, March 6, 2008 under the care of Comfort Care and Hospice Services at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. She was born July 23, 1912 in Wausau to the late Darwin and Rose (Ostring) Kischel.
Eleanor graduated from Wausau High school and from Carroll College. While working at what was then the Wausau Vocational School she was introduced to a new instructor by the name of Lawrence Hoyt. Eleanor and Lawrence were married on November 26, 1936 and spent the rest of their lives in Wausau. Lawrence died in 2004.
Throughout her life she was devoted to her family, her community, and her church. She was a member of numerous church and community organizations and always treasured the many opportunities she had living in Wausau. For a time she worked for her father, Darwin Kischel, in the businesses he founded - Kischel Wholesale Grocery and Central Wisconsin Paper Company. But Eleanor's greatest pleasures were spending time with her many friends and family, whether in Wausau, in northern Wisconsin, or in Arizona.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence, and by a brother, Ralph Kischel.
