Mary Ann Bloedow

Mary Ann Bloedow (nee Lehndorf) or “Susie” as some called her gained her wings and peacefully entered Eternal Live on December 24, 2020.  Mary is preceded in death by her parents Arthur Frank Lehndorf and Marion Lehndorf (nee Zellner).  Mary has also been reunited with her beloved daughter Tracie Leigh Baylor (nee Bloedow).

Mary is survived by her Husband Duane Bloedow, Daughter Michelle Bloedow, Brother James (Cathy) Lehndorf, Granddaughter Shayla Baylor, Grandson Emery Baylor, Niece, Nephews, other extended family, and Grandpets Maya and Nina.

Mary accomplished many things in her life.  First and foremost raising her two beloved daughters.  When Mary felt it was time, she entered the work force and became a teacher’s aide.  After working for many years in the school system Mary did what most would find daunting in their 40’s, she decided to go to college where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Education.  Once Duane retired he and Mary moved to Florida for several years where they enjoyed endless days golfing and sailing.  Wanting to see more of the country Duane and Mary bought an RV and traveled the West/Southwest.

Mary always enjoyed being active as is reflected in the many activities she loved to do with her family.  Mary and Duane would go bow hunting, duck hunting, trap shooting, and motorcycling together.  Most weekends in the summertime the whole family would be up north camping, canoeing, and fishing.  Winters were spent snowmobiling with a short stint learning how to downhill ski.  During retirement, Mary enjoyed golfing, sailing, hiking out West.

Mary will live “Forever In Our Hearts”

A special Thank You to Dr. Carol Potts, the staff at Elizabeth Residence, and Badger Hospice for their care and compassion.

A private interment at Lake View Memorial Park in Oshkosh and family celebration of Mary’s life will occur at a time when it is safe to gather.
