Obituary

Franksville, WI – Agnes Marjorie Meissner, 97, was called home to heaven on November 1, 2021, at Benedictine Living Community in Wausau, WI. Agnes was born on September 19, 1924, to George and Emma Gutknecht in Franksville where she lived for sixty-two years before moving to Tomahawk, WI, then to Edgar, WI, and finally back to Franksville. Agnes was united in marriage to Glenn Meissner in 1948. While raising their family, they first operated a trucking business, then turned to produce farming, raising cabbage and potatoes. Later they started Meissners' Fruit & Vegetable Market, a business they owned and operated for over thirty years. Agnes treasured her family and loved cooking fabulous meals for all. She enjoyed gardening, growing flowers, going to auctions, canning pickles, bird-watching, and working. Agnes truly loved the farms, fields, and animals of Wisconsin. As a life-long faithful Christian, she was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Racine, and previously Redeemer Lutheran in Tomahawk and Trinity Lutheran in Caledonia. Surviving are her daughters Julie (Tom) Porter, Nancy (Bruce) Hackel, and Peggy (Dr. Steve) Nichols; grandchildren Tim (Jennifer) Porter, Katie (Taye) Shuayb, Sarah Porter, Alexandrea and Gus Hackel, Ryan (Michelle) Nichols, Tom (Jacqui) Nichols, and Madeline Nichols; great-grandchildren Jimmy, Phoebe, and Brooke Porter; Eli, Silas, Elowyn, Sullivan, and Millie Nichols; sister Ardys Larson; and many nieces and nephews. Agnes was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Glenn, in 2010; her parents; brothers Charles and Oscar Gutknecht; and sisters Pearl Kroening, Della Zimmerman, and Alice Jacobson. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 11, 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2065 Geneva Street, Racine, with Pastor David Gehne officiating. Visitation will be at the church prior to the service from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Memorials may be directed to Racine Lutheran High School, Trinity Lutheran Church (Racine), or Redeemer Lutheran Church (Tomahawk). Special thanks to Pastor Mark Gass for guiding Agnes in faith during her final days, also to the kind and caring staff at Benedictine in Wausau, and to the Lord God for a long life full of blessings.
