Bernadette Caroline Tegeler Obituary
We are sad to announce that on December 16, 2022 we had to say goodbye to Bernadette Caroline Tegeler (Onalaska, Wisconsin), born in Cascade, Iowa. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Edward Reiter and Margret Reiter (Kurt); her husband Ralph; her siblings, Lilian, Florence, Laura, Kay, Walter, Edward, Carl, Fred, Paul and Bernice; and also, Joe, Clara, Leo, Catherine and Mildred.
She is survived by: her daughters, Mary Kay Priem (Jeff) and Susie Wright (Scott Douglas); her grandchildren, Megan Priem, Danielle Deanovich (Joe), Michael Priem (Maddy), Ryan Tegeler (Chelsey) and Alison Wright; her great grandchildren, Jack Deanovich, Luka Deanovich, David Richardson, Sophia Richardson, Caroline Richardson and Theodore Tegeler; and her sisters-in-law, Lila Reiter, Jean Reiter and Ethel McCreedy.
Even as her Alzheimer's progressed Bernie was often known to say two things: "This is the happiest I've ever been." and "I've had a good life.". In Lieu of Flowers, the family would like donations given to Bethany Lutheran Homes in the La Crosse-Onalaska community, and the Alzheimer's Association.
