Our lovely mother, Albertina “Tina” Gensler, age 93, was called to her heavenly home on September 10, 2019.
She was born November 8, 1925 in the town of Brillion to William and Johanna (Zick) Keuer. On September 20, 1947, Tina married the love of her life, Donald Gensler, at Rural United Methodist Church of Brillion. They celebrated 70 years of marriage prior to Don’s death in 2018. They lived in and around Weyauwega for nearly all of their married life. Tina was an accomplished seamstress and enjoyed quilting and other needle crafting. She took pleasure in attending to her flowers. She also loved to sing, and lent her alto voice to a number of churches and community choral groups including the Sweet Adelines. She and Don enjoyed many years of camping, fishing, bowling, dancing, and traveling. Her life was rich with family friends, and faith. She was a wonderful blend of strength, kindness, wisdom, common sense, and humor. Tina was an active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Baldwins Mill.
Tina is survived by her loving family, including children, Gary (Bev) Gensler, Barb (Dale) Dishno, and Arlie (Jan) Gensler; grandchildren: Jenny Gregory, Kelley Gensler (Andy Schimke), Joey Wesley, Kristina Dishno, Olivia and Jamie Gensler; great-grandchildren: Paige, Kirsten and Chloe Gregory and Victor Schimke. She is further survived by numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, Tina was preceded in death by her brothers and sisters and their spouses, and by Don’s brothers and sister and their spouses.
