Donald Vinton Rothering, 82, received the promise of eternal life on Sunday, May 30, 2021.  He was born in Racine on November 12, 1938, son of the late Leo and Vera (Née: Harvey) Rothering.

Donald was united in marriage to the former Sandra Jean Lueckfeld on August 3, 1963, in Racine.

Don proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Navy.  He worked for American Motors (AMC) for seven and a half years.  He then worked for S.C. Johnson for 33 years retiring in 2000.  Don enjoyed hunting, fishing, and bowling.  He loved taking walleye trips to Lake Erie.  He also loved hunting in the Crivitz area up north.

Don leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of over 57 years, Sandra Rothering; children, William (Jan) Hankins, Scott (Kris) Rothering, Kelly Bauer; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends too numerous to mention.

In addition to his parents, Don is preceded in death by his son, Timothy Rothering; great-grandson, Michael Hankins; brothers, Leo (Pat) Rothering, Leroy (Dorothy) Rothering, Richard (Nancy) Rothering; and mother-in-law, Roberta Lueckfeld.

A celebration of Don’s life will be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, 11:00am, at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory, 4600 County Line Road.  Visitation will be from 10:00am until the time of the service.  Burial will follow at West Lawn Memorial Park.

The family would like to extend a heart-felt “Thank You” to the staff of Seasons Hospice for the love and care given to Don during this difficult time.

Testimonials

Thank you so very much for the exemplary care that you provided for both our mom and dad. Your family is extremely kind and exudes much empathy towards others. You and your staff display much professionalism with great talent and attention to detail. Mom and dad were always very particular in their appearance. Mom would say, You are leaving a lasting impression of yourself with someone to remember you by. Your parents taught you boys well; be very proud of that! Love on them, as death is so very permanent.

Holly and I are officially orphans now. It is people like your family and David Huck being there for us, that bring comfort when you are going through one of the most difficult challenges life throws at you.

I thank God every day for our Ostergaard family and will always cherish the memories.

Love you,

Jody Burlingame Wagner
