Edwin A. Kallies, 92, formerly of Shawano, passed away peacefully at Pine Manor Health Care Center on Tuesday, June 5, 2007.
Edwin was born on Nov. 2, 1914, in the town of Angelica, the son of the late Ernest and Martha (Kroening) Kallies.
He attended Zion Lutheran Church, where he was baptized and confirmed.
On April 27, 1935, he was united in marriage to Gertrude Wagner at the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bonduel. Together the couple farmed for many years.
In 1949, they purchased a farm in the town of Green Valley where they lived until 1967 when they purchased a home in Shawano. Edwin started working for the Shawano County Highway Department until 1980 when he retired. Gertrude preceded him in death on Sept. 30, 1988.
After retirement Edwin cared for many lawns in the Shawano area. He took great pride in a beautiful lawn and beautiful flowers, especially roses. Ed enjoyed fishing and berry picking and gardening. He was a member of St. James Lutheran Church of Shawano where he was an usher for many Sunday morning services. When he was unable to attend church service, he enjoyed the St. James Sunday morning worship service on the radio.
Edwin is survived by his five children, Delores (Duane) Horsens, Germantown; Willis (Gwen) Kallies, Colorado; Shirley Wegner, Shawano; Maynard (Helen) Kallies, Shawano; Barbara (Allen) Engebretsen, Cecil; 14 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his sister, Elta Sievert; brother-in-law, Leonard Bonnin; sister-in-law, Marie Kallies; brother-in-law, Otto (Marge) Wagner; sister-in-law Margaret Wagner; and many nieces and nephews.
Edwin was preceded in death by his wife, Gertrude; a son-in-law, Melvin Wegner; grandson, Jamie Kallies; his parents; sisters, Mildred Bonnin, Velda Zingler; brother, Edward Kallies; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Walter (Eunice) Wagner, Art Wagner, Maynard Sievert, Ruben Zingler; and his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, June 8, 2007, at the St. James Lutheran Church in Shawano with the Rev. Michael Schram officiating.
