Carol Ada Landry (Bruce), 92, passed into eternity on May 21, 2016.
Carol was a friend to just about everyone she ever met. Her good nature and sense of humor and her spunkiness made her special. After retirement, she and her husband, Robert Bernard Landry, moved to Waterford on the Fox River and spent a great deal of time entertaining family gatherings and on the river with Dad powering the pontoon. She was active at Norway Lutheran Church while living there, and she loved cutting quilt squares weekly for the Norway Quilters and continued to be active after moving to Norway Shores after the death of her husband on June 10, 1977. While there, she was the ‘glue’ in keeping activities going, including card and board games and weekly bingo and potlucks. It was in 2015 that her health declined and she was moved to the Rennes Health and Rehab Center in Rhinelander. She loved living at Rennes, making many friends there, and being cared for by the ‘Angels’ who masqueraded as staff. While there, she attended Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, in Eagle River where she enjoyed meeting new friends.
Survivors include her sister, Edith Landry; children, Cheryl (Larry) Johnson. San Antonio, Texas, Barbara (Dennis) Gauger, Eagle River, Robert Landry Jr. (Donna), Greenfield, Marilyn (Darrell) Franklin, Billings, Mont., Cindy (Donn) Gauger, Rhinelander, Michele (Keith) Sorenson, Princeton; grandchildren, Michele Baty, Donna Hinze, Diahnn Halbach, Deborah Stouffer, Kelly Kazik, Erin Alf, Steven Wowzynski, Ryan Landry, Heather Gessner, Kathryn Schenck, and Holly Sorenson; great-grandchildren, Joseph Cannon, Zachery Hinze, Bradley Hinze, Jessica Halbach, Jeremy Stouffer, Brock Halbach, Kelsey Stouffer, Anthony Landry, Andromeda Schenck, Mya Wowzynski, Madeline Franklin, Kaylee Wowzynski, Remiel Schenck, Griffin Alf, Alexa Wowzynski, and Bailey Schmitz; and great-great-grandsons, Dominic Hinze and Liam Hinze. Liam came into the world one day before Carol passed.
She was further preceded in death by her brother Douglas Bruce, and grandson, Glen Franklin.
