Nyma Jean (Hanson) Larkee, Age 92, of Waupaca WI., passed away October 30th, 2026. She was the daughter of John and Margaret Hanson. Nyma graduated from Waupaca High School in 1952. She married Charles Larkee in 1953 and remained together for 62 years until Charles passed in 2015. Nyma and Charles had 4 children, Darrell (passed away in 1984), David, Dale and Dawn.

Nyma loved to tell her stories of growing up on a small farm. One of her favorite things to do was to sneak away to her lone pine hill on the property, watch the animals, read and plan new adventures. When she grew up, she met a man returning home after completing his time in the US Army. As the story goes Nyma and other friends received a ride to Radtke Lanes with one of the girl's boyfriends. Unfortunately, the return ride home didn’t work out. That’s when Nyma summoned enough courage to ask Charles Larkee if he could give her and her friends a ride back to Waupaca. Being the gentleman that he was, he agreed as long as he could drop Nyma off last. That was the start of a relationship that went on for another 60 plus years.

Nyma married into the Carnival business (Tip Top Shows) started by Marvin Larkee, the father of Charles Larkee (That folks is a biography that still needs to be written). Nyma worked in several different food stands over the years. Travelling to various county fairs and celebrations throughout the state of Wisconsin and beyond. She did all this while raising her...

Incredibly generous with his time and talents, Mike often helped his family and friends, which included building a wheelchair ramp so a family friend could easily access their home. He was always happy to lend a hand and graciously refused any payment for his work.
Outside of his career, Mike cherished time spent with his beloved wife, Chris, and their dogs at their home in Northern Wisconsin. They shared a love of wildlife and rescued many animals in need. Mike...
