  Ditter, Cordell M.Passed away Tuesday, February 25, 2003 at Rennes Health Center followi ng a brief illness. Cordell was born in Appleton on April 3, 1907, daught er of the late Nic and Ellen (Borchardt) Berens. Cordell attended Holy Cro ss School in Kaukauna and later was employed at Blanche Gerend's milline ry shop. She enjoyed her work creating women's hats, which were very popul ar in those days.On April 22, 1929, she married Walter M. Ditter at St. Therese Catholic Ch urch in Appleton. Following her marriage, mom devoted herself to raising a nd caring for her family. She truly enjoyed baking, cooking, and doti ng on her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. There was nev er a time when mom didn't respond generously to any request for help, givi ng unselfishly from her limited resources to help family and friends in ne ed.Cordell is survived by two children: Thomas "Tim" (Mary) Ditter of Kaukau na and Judy (Dr. David) Kent of Appleton; seven grandchildren: Mark M. (Je nnifer) Ditter of Hales Corners, Charles P. (Barbara) Ditter of Waukesh a, Rebecca (James Abendroth) Kent of Appleton, Christine (Larry) Cor si of Madison, Aimee' (Cary Grunder) Kent of Madison, and David Andrew Ke nt of California; seven great-grandchildren: Tim and Jennifer Ditter, Andr ew and Isabelle Abendroth, Nicholas and Emma Corsi, and Sophie Grunder.Cordell was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister a nd brother-in-law Josephine and Wayne Carr, a granddaughter Julie Kent, a nd a special friend Ted Hietpas.Private memorial services will be held f or immediate family. A long life precludes contemporaries to bid one farew ell, but ensures a host to welcome one home to eternal life.Cordell's love of reading has prompted us to establish a memorial in her n ame at the Kaukauna Public Library.The family would like to extend their g ratitude to the entire staff at Rennes Health Center in Appleton for the w onderful, loving care Cordell received, especially this past month. You a re all so very special; our sincere thanks to each one of you. FARGO FUNERAL HOME400 W. Wisconsin AvenueKaukauna 766-6200
