  DELIA E. WESTPHAL, 95, of Cecil passed away on Wednesday, December 5, 2012. Adelia was born on July 2, 1917, to Ferdinand and Elsie (Priem) Seidler on their farm in the town of Washington. She attended Lakeview grade school and was confirmed at St. John's Evangelical Reformed Church, Cecil in 1931. One of 10 brothers and sisters she spent her young life helping at home and on the farm.

They farmed in the town of Hartland for many years, retiring to the present home in Cecil. During their farming years Adelia participated in all of the numerous farm chores. Though busy daily, relatives and friends were often welcomed at their table for a home cooked meal. While an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bonduel she joined the Ladies Aide and the Christian Women's Society. She was a poll worker and an XYZ club member. Adelia gladly worked at the Thrift Store in Green Bay and Shawano. Numerous hands of sheep's head were played with friends. She and her husband enjoyed some travel in retirement. Adelia put others first. She frequently visited those in nursing homes. Her coffee pot was at the ready with treats to share. She was a second Mom too many. Many Christmas trees are graced with the hundreds of hand crocheted snowflakes and angles she created over the years.
