Annette Thomsen "Nettie", 86, from Marshfield, crossed over dancing polkas with her life companion of 33 years, Harold Kieffer "Harry the Bear" on March 5th, 2024, at the Marshfield Hospital Palliative Care Unit surrounded by family.

She was born June 8th, 1937, in the town of Siegel at home.

Her parents were Louis Weinfurtner and Agnes Weinfurtner.

She worked in a nursing home, farmed, and later became a homemaker. She enjoyed a good time traveling locally to enjoy polka dancing, reading books, Elvis, Johnny Cash, sewing, shopping for a good deal especially when it came to her love for shoes and classy clothing, and spending time with her family. She loved everyone and could always fix everything. She was always there for everyone. She was the most loving, humble, compassionate, understanding, family-oriented women and one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet.

Survivors include her daughter Tina Beach (Adam) of Marshfield, sons Kenneth Kummer of Marshfield, Cory Kummer (Kay) of Marshfield. Grandchildren Teala Catron (Jordon) of Florida, Maria Sylvia of Florida, Adalynn Pelland of Marshfield, Alec Beach (Nicole) of Marshfield, Austin Beach of Marshfield, AJ Beach of Florida, Talia Beach of Marshfield, Justin Kummer (Stephanie) of Arpin, Tonya Kummer of Marshfield. Grand dog she adored GiGi and Rudy. Also, many sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, great grandkids, nieces, nephews, and cousins she spoke highly of and adored.

She is predeceased by her mother Agnes, father Louis, brothers Sonny and Fritz, sister Dotty, grandson Adonis, great granddaughter Emma.

Please join us in a celebration of her life, happy not sad, the way she wanted it, remembering good times, memories, family, enjoying her favorite music and food at Rembs Celebration Center, 250 S. Oak Ave, Marshfield, WI on Thursday, March 14th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
