Mildred M. Gnerlich, age 95, of Mayville, was born into Eternal Life on December 17, 2020, at Cedar Community, West Bend. Millie was born Mildred Marie Handel in Iron Ridge on September 5, 1925, the oldest of three children of Theodore and Irma (Giese) Handel. Her brother, Merlin, and sister, Barbara, preceded her in death. Millie married Lawrence “Jinx” Gnerlich on November 1, 1947. They enjoyed almost 60 years of polka dances before Jinx’s death in 2007. Millie’s strong faith carried her through 95 years of life’s ups and downs. Millie is survived by her son, Rod, and his wife, Sandy, as well as her grandpups, Heidi and Abby. Further survived by nieces, nephews, and friends too numerous to count. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Cedar Community for their care of Millie over the past six years. Millie was baptized, confirmed, married, and will be buried at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Iron Ridge, on Tuesday, December 22. Visitation will be held at 10 AM, with a service to follow at 11 AM and burial immediately thereafter. If desired, memorials to St. Matthew’s appreciated.

I worked with Mille at the Mayville Co-op from 1964 - 1967. She was the Bookkeeper and I was her assistant. Her laugh was contagious. She was so great to work with. Years later my husband, Carl, and I attended her 90th birthday at the Iron Ridge Inn. She remembered all our kids and asked about each of them. Her memory was as sharp as 50 years earlier. My husband passed away in June 2020 and Millie called me shortly after he died. I will always remember this wonderful woman and her thoughtfulness.

I extend my sympathy to the family of Millie Gnerlich, my aunt, and promise to remember her in my prayers. She and her husband, Jinx, were frequent visitors to my family in Fond du Lac and she an my dad, Elmer Kunz, shared many a laugh together. She will be missed, and her husband, Jinx, is missed. Now they are together in death as they were in life. Sr. M. Alice Kunz, Schoenstatt Sister of Mary, Madison WI
