  Luebke, Joan Taylor (nee Walbrun) Joan Taylor Luebke, age 83, of Grand Chute, WI, formerly of Menasha, left this world in the loving arms of Jesus on September 6, 2009, after a five month bout with cancer. Born on February 4, 1926, she was the youngest daughter of the late Thomas G. Walbrun and Mary E. (Orth) Walbrun. She attended grade and high school at St. Mary's Catholic School in Menasha and was a graduate of the class of 1943. Joan was a devoted and beloved wife, a mother of eight and an immediate friend to everyone she met. "Joanie" was well-known as one of the Valley's best bartenders, an avid reader, as well as a fabulous cook and passionate gardener. Volunteering with the Theda Clark Auxiliary Ladies for 30 years and heavy involvement in the Elks Ladies for almost 50 years filled her life with abundant friends. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was preceded in death by an infant son, Thomas Grode and husbands: Eugene Grode, James E. Taylor, Harald Lund, her parents and all 15 brothers and sisters. She is survived by her loving husband, Vince Luebke, her children and their spouses: Lynn (Erv) Nowak, Oak Creek, WI; Jann (Mark) Kalawa, Menomonee Falls, WI; Peg (Dennis) Marquardt, Wichita Falls, TX; Gail (Steve) Moe, De Pere, WI; Edmund "Tripp" (Paige) Taylor III, Neenah, WI; Jamie (Bob) Mazur, Menasha, WI; Mary (Sean) Grafenstein, Appleton, WI; step-children: Mike (Diane) Luebke, Middleton, WI; Linda (Don) Willett, Tucson, AZ; Bob Luebke, Garner, NC; and Luanne (Jim) Bridenbaugh, N. Fond Du Lac, WI; sisters-in-law: Janet Otten, Slinger, WI and Margie Hill, Brown Deer, WI; brother-in-law: Ron (Tina) Luebke, Wagon Mound, NM. Joan was a loving and beloved grandmother to 28 and had 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and dear friends. We extend much gratitude to Dr. Richard Klamm, her family doctor of many years, and to the ThedaCare At Home Hospice employees, who treated her with such gentleness and dignity. A celebration of Joan's life will be held at 5 p.m. at ST. MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 528 Second St, Menasha, on Friday, September 11, 2009. Visitation will be held at the church from 3 p.m. until the time of Mass. A private burial will take place at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery, Menasha. In lieu of flowers, you may make contributions to the American Cancer Society. Wichmann Funeral Home 537 N. Superior St. Appleton 920-739-1231 Online condolences www.wichmannfargo.com
