Patricia Ann Severson

Patricia "Pat" Severson, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home on August 6, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on January 18, 1938, in Brooklyn, Wisconsin, she was the daughter of Kenneth and Evelyn (Krueger) DeRemer.

Pat graduated from Janesville High School in 1955. While raising her family in Sheboygan Falls, she balanced a fulfilling 25-year career at Feldmann Engineering, retiring in 2000.

In 1962, Pat married Al Severson, and together they created a home filled with love and laughter. She was a proud mother to her three children: Chris (Steve) Hellner, Curt (Tami) Severson, and Kari (Tom) Buechel. Her greatest joy came from being an active grandmother to her seven grandchildren: Taylor (Coty Gular) and Carsen (Lindsey) Severson, Patrick and Clinton (Felicia) Hellner, and Grace, Hunter, and Blaise Buechel. She also welcomed her first great-grandchild, Madisyn Hellner, in 2025.

Pat was known for her supportive nature and inability to remain idle. Her motto was “have sleeping bag, will travel,” and she was always ready to help with child care, pet sitting, sewing emergencies or whatever crisis of the day led to a “911 Grandma” or “1-800-Grandma” call. She took great pride in attending her grandchildren’s events and enjoyed gardening, reading and puttering with her puzzles.

Following her wishes, there will be no formal visitation or service. In honor of Pat’s memory, and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sheboygan County Humane Society or the Sheboygan Falls Memorial Library.

Pat's memory will be cherished by her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Florence Adela Popp

Florence Adela Popp

It is with deep love, gratitude, and sadness that we share the passing of our cherished mother, Florence Adela Popp, 91, on August 5, 2026 at Pine Haven in Sheboygan Falls, with her family by her side.

Florence was born on August 11, 1934, to Adolph and Adeline (Schlichting) Fenner in the Town of Sheboygan Falls. She lost her mother at a young age in 1946. She graduated from Sheboygan Falls High School. On October 11, 1952, Florence was united in marriage to the love of her life, James Popp, at St. Luke Lutheran Church. They shared 73 wonderful years of marriage and were blessed with three children, whom they raised on their beloved family homestead along North Highway 32. Later, they traveled the world in retirement.

Florence was preceded in death by her parents; her sister and brother-in-law, Marlene (Harold) Meinnert; her brother and sister-in-law, Norman (Geraldine) Fenner; her infant sisters, Arnita and Carol; and her father's housekeeper, Hattie Severin, who helped raise Florence and her siblings.

She is survived by her husband, James; her brother, David Fenner; her sons, Michael (Darlene) Popp of New Berlin, WI, and Randy (Jennifer) Popp, of Sun Prairie, WI; and her daughter, Julann (Jose) Sanchez, of Tamarac, FL. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Nathanael (Elise) Popp, Carmen Bartholomew-Popp, Megan (Ryan) Kussmaul, Alex Popp, Mallory (Eric) Zoglman, Julian Sanchez, and Nicole Sanchez; and by her three great-grandchildren, Zander and Paxton Zoglman, and Kooper Kussmaul.

Florence was the consummate wife, mother, homemaker, and parish member. She was deeply devoted to her faith and made sure us kids did not embarrass the family in front of Pastor Diemer. While her primary focus was always her family, she also worked at Leverenz Shoe Company, Rick’s House of Flowers in Sheboygan Falls, and later delivered mail in her little red Subaru. Her love for church was evident in her work as a Sunday School teacher, librarian, and member of Sarah Circle and Ladies of St. Luke. She enjoyed working on Easter flower displays, banners, communion setups, and greetings.

She embodied the classic skills of a German homemaker—sewing, cooking, gardening, canning, and baking, especially her famous blueberry cheesecake. Cleanliness was next to godliness in her home. She was also a voracious reader and had a remarkable talent for refinishing furniture, a skill born from her passion for preserving and honoring the past.

Florence never met a photo she didn't like. She was a deeply passionate family historian who spent decades creating books documenting the Popp, Fenner, Schmitz, and Schlichting families, each exceeding 400 pages. More than simply recording history, she treasured meeting and photographing living relatives from every corner of Wisconsin.

Florence spent her final year at Pine Haven, just a mile from the family home. We were blessed to celebrate many family gatherings there, the last being Father's Day, when she was able to hold her newest great-grandchild.

Funeral Services will be held at 12:00PM on Friday, August 21, 2026 at St. Luke Lutheran Church, N6193 State Rd 32 in Sheboygan Falls. All are welcome to view a livestream of the service on Florence's obituary page at wenigfh.com . Burial will take place at St. Lucas Cemetery in the town of Sheboygan Falls. Relatives and friends may greet the family at church on Friday from 10:00AM -12:00PM.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to St. Luke Lutheran Church.

The family would like to thank the staff of Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice and Pine Haven for their compassionate and loving care.

Linda A. Dykstra

Linda A. Dykstra passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior at home on Sunday, August 2, 2026, surrounded by family. Linda was born December 23, 1948, in Port Washington, WI to Marvin and Lois Anzia. Linda grew up in Belgium, Wisconsin with three younger brothers and two younger sisters. She learned how to work hard at a very early age and carried that virtue with her throughout her entire life.

Linda graduated from St. Mary's Lake Church Grade School in 1963 and from Cedar Grove-Belgium High School in 1967. On March 11, 1967 she met the love of her life, Richard Dykstra, at a teen dance and they remained a devoted couple for the next 59 years. They danced for the last time at a grandson's wedding just two weeks before Linda passed away.

Linda and Rich were married August 31, 1968 at Hingham Reformed Church with Rev. Reuben Ten Haken officiating. They settled into an upper apartment next to Dutch Cleaners in Cedar Grove, where they spent the first five years of their married life. Linda and Rich dreamed about owning their own home someday. They built their dream home in 1972 and Linda lovingly cared for it for the next 54 years.

Linda and Rich raised five children in their Cedar Grove home, with an age gap of twenty-two years between the oldest and youngest, and have a 29-year gap between their oldest and youngest grandchildren.

Linda worked full-time for the first three years of their marriage so Rich could complete his college education. She often stayed up into the wee hours of the morning if Rich had to complete a project or assignment.

Linda's goals in life were to be the best wife, mother, grandmother, friend, employee, Christian, and community volunteer that she could be-and she aced it. While her children were in elementary school and high school, Linda worked part time at a variety of jobs. In 2009, when her youngest child graduated from high school, Linda expanded her presence in the work force, with employment at Molly Brusse's Housekeepers, Walvoord's Berry Farm and a fifteen-year stint as custodian at Faith Reformed Church in Cedar Grove. Linda also helped found and operate Dykstra Engineering from 1982-2017 and served on the Cedar Grove Library Board for more than twenty years.

Linda had a servant's heart, helping others at the drop of a hat. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with family and friends and taking care of her sixteen grandchildren. She also loved watching the Gilmore Girls (over and over), reading, vacationing, walking with friends, shopping, spending time with the other Linda Dykstra, cheering on the Packers and Brewers, and going to her children's and grandchildren's activities, whatever they may be. Linda was a wonderful role model who will be sorely missed and greatly admired.

Linda is survived by her husband, Richard; children: Stacy (Shawn) Mains, Christopher (Laura) Dykstra, Sally (Josh) Ketterhagen, Erin (Jon) Hoffmann, Jordan (Sean) Engel; grandchildren: Shay, Keegan (Hannah), Keely (Meagan), Ailish, and Aoife Mains, Grace and Dylan Dykstra, Bryce (Kenzie), Logan, Cole, Reid, and Grady Ketterhagen, Lexi, Avery, and Brynn Hoffmann, and Gavin Engel; siblings: Jeff Anzia, Deb (Mark) Wieberdink, Joanne (Jim) Voskuil, Pete (Marybeth) Anzia, Jim (Wendy) Anzia; siblings-in-law: Jim (Susan) Dykstra, Mary (Tom Saler) Dykstra; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Lois; parents-in-law, Henry and Elsie Dykstra; and sister-in-law, Barb Anzia.

The family would like to thank the staff of Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice, Pastor Zach Tarter, Pastor Lincoln Rus, the entire Faith Church congregation, and Aurora Medical Center for their compassionate care and support.

Funeral services to celebrate Linda’s life will be held at Faith Reformed Church in Cedar Grove on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 12:30pm. Visitation will be held at church from 9:30am until 12:15pm. All are welcome to view a livestream of the service by visiting wenig.live/LindaDykstra.
