Jean V. Westphal, 94, Appleton, passed away at her home on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014.
Jean was born on Aug. 9, 1920, to the late Paul and Emma (Radtke) Dobratz in Zachow. She married Howard Westphal, and he preceded her in death in 1993. Jean liked to play a mean game of cards as well as playing Yahtzee and giving to the slot machines. She was an avid Brewers fan and never missed watching a game on TV. She spent countless hours enjoying time at Rhonda’s home and cheering Joy on as her No. 1 fan at league bowling.
She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and cherished time spent at family occasions.
We love you Grammy/Grammy Great!
