Brumm, Lyle L.

Lyle L. Brumm, age 87 of New London, passed away on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at home due to complications of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Lyle was born on November 18, 1935 at home in the Town of Almon, Shawano County, the son of the late Arthur and Anne (Kremenek) Brumm. He graduated from UW Steven Point and began his teaching career in 1955 at Toppings Corner School, a one room school in Walworth County and concluding his teaching in the Washington Junior High in New London. After retiring, he became an accomplished woodworker, making many pieces for their home. Lyle’s pride and joy was his eight piece bedroom set of solid black walnut, which took him five years to finish.

Lyle is survived by his loving wife, Dawn; daughters, Michelle (Jim) Oliver and JoEllen Kruzicki; his brother, Robert (Barbara) Brumm; brother-in-law, David (Karen) Looker; seven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Lyle was preceded in death by his parents; his father and mother-in-law, Cyril and Jane Looker; son-in-law, Dennis Kruzicki and sister, Carla (Harmon) Gast.

The Memorial Service for Lyle will be held at 11:00 on Thursday, March 16, 2023 at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Greenville with Rev. Steve Kline officiating. The visitation will take place from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the service.

I would like to profoundly thank my wife, Dawn, for giving me over 44 years of the best years of my life. Her love and care was more than anyone could expect. I’ll see you later with Charly. Also, a thank you to special neighbors and friends, Keith and Sandy Krueger and Scott and Jill Siebert. A thank you to ThedaCare Hospice, especially Sarah-“drive safe”, as well as to “Cuz”-Karen Looker.

In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to the handicapped youth and comfort dog programs at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Greenville.
