Gertrude enjoyed being a homemaker and mother.  She especially liked to garden, traveling, going camping, trips to the casino and entertaining during the holidays.  Gertrude was a member of St. Catherine’s Council at Holy Name of Jesus Parish.  Along with Robert, she was a member of Bill’s Musky Club and helped serve the Spring and Fall Annual Fishing Trip meals.

Gertrude is survived by her son, Bruce of Wausau; three grandchildren, Jennifer, Brian and Samantha; and four great-grandchildren.  She is preceded in death by her son, Charles and her siblings, Floyd Obermiller, Loretta Bane and Josephine Tomasha.
