     Hermina Theresa Hainzlsperger was born on July 2, 1933 in the Town of Hull, Marathon County, to Felix A. and Marjorie (Hunger) Hainzlsperger.  She was raised on the family farm and received her education in the Colby area, graduating from Colby High School in 1951.  Hermina was united in marriage to Stanley E.

     Her many interests were gardening, playing cards, especially UNO with her grandchildren, Polka music, fishing, and was a Damn Good Cook!
