- Kenneth Julius, Age 93 of Greenville, died on Monday, September 5, 2011, at Living Tree Estates in Greenville, Wisconsin.
Kenneth was born in the family farmhouse on February 4, 1918, the son of August and Elsie (Pingel) Julius. His entire education was obtained from Wide Awake School, just a half mile from his home. He was confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Appleton. Kenneth was married to June (Christianson) on June 14, 1950, at Grace Lutheran Church in Winchester.
Kenneth's wife, children, and grandchildren meant the world to him. His love of the family farm was clearly evident by all who knew him. He was well known for his keen gift of remembering the past. His many stories were always of special meaning to his family and friends. Kenneth's life-long membership in South Greenville Grange was a source of camaraderie and fellowship. It also helped provide the foundation from which he and his family developed their appreciation, advocacy, and stewardship of land and nature. Kenneth enjoyed traveling both near and far, whether for a Sunday afternoon ride or traveling to Germany.
Survivors include Kenneth's wife, June, along with their children John Julius, James Julius, Jean (Dennis) Goffard, and Jerry (Jean) Julius, as well as their grandchildren Jessica and Christian Julius, all from the Town of Greenville. Other survivors include his sister-in-law, Margot Christianson, and brother-in-law Charles Christianson, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Preceding him in death were his parents, August and Elsie (Pingel) Julius, his wife's parents, Wallace and Edna Christianson, along with brothers- and sisters-in-law Lorraine and Leo Anderson, Emory Christianson, and Wilma Christianson.
The family would like to thank the owners and staff at Living Tree Estates in Greenville for the special loving care they have provided over the last several years. They also appreciate those from Trinity Lutheran Church who have faithfully kept Kenneth and June connected to their church.
A funeral service for Kenneth will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 13, 2011, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 209 S. Allen Street, Appleton, with Pastor Kurt Kovanen and Pastor Dean Pingel officiating. Family and friends may call at Borchardt & Moder Funeral Home Monday evening from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and again at church Tuesday morning from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Burial will be in Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Greenville.
