Julie’s Personal Touch

Racine – Shirlie Ann Conner, 82, passed away at Froedtert Memorial Hospital on Saturday, June 3, 2017. She was born in Racine, Wisconsin on July 9, 1934. Shirlie graduated from Horlick high school in 1953. She enjoyed her work as a teacher’s assistant in the Racine Unified School District for many years.

Shirlie had many wonderful friends and enjoyed the company of her “club ladies” twice a month since graduating from high school. She enjoyed attending and participating in church activities, reading, old black and white movies, crafts (especially sewing), and most importantly spending time with her grandchildren. Shirlie was an excellent mother and wife, energetic in her approach to life and fun loving. She and Wendel could dance a “mean” jitterbug.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Wendel Conner; children Wendy Lee Sobic and her husband Dan of Scottsdale, Arizona; Jon Conner and his wife Dawn of Kenosha; grandchildren Christopher Sobic and his wife Libby of Mequon, Stephanie Gauthier and her husband Chas of Midland, Texas, Nicole Vargas and her husband Shawn of Kenosha, Timothy Conner of Kenosha, and Steven Conner of Kootenai, Idaho. Shirlie was blessed with three great grandchildren; Jacob Vargas, Joseph Vargas, Jagger Gauthier and a 4th expected in mid – July. She is preceded in death by her daughter, Kristie Marie Conner and her beloved sisters Beverly Boutell, Audrey Meinert and her mother Erma Schwertfeger.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, June 9 at St. Lucy’s Catholic Church (3101 Drexel Avenue, Racine) at 11 a.m. with Fr. Javier Guativa officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home Thursday night from 5pm to 7pm; and in the church on Friday beginning at 11am. A private family burial will be held at the Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery. Memorials to St. Lucy’s Church have been suggested.

Testimonials

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
