Agnes (Steines) Theurer, 93, Stratford,
Wisconsin, died on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at
Ministry St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield,
Wisconsin. A Mass of Christian Burial will be
held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Stratford,
with Reverend Sengole Vethanayagam officiating.
Agnes was born on November 8, 1923, in the Town
of Cleveland, Marathon County, Wisconsin, to
Eugene and Mary (Kaiser) Steines. She shared her
birthday with her father.
She attended St. Joseph’s Parochial School in
Stratford and later worked for her GED and
received it in 1975. In her youth, Agnes played
guitar and sang on the radio, highlighted by her
yodeling fashioned after Patsy Montana. She
worked as a domestic in Marshfield for prominent
families, learning many wonderful recipes and
kitchen skills.
On October 28, 1942, she married Paul Theurer at
St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Stratford. He died
on April 7, 2013.
In 1944, the Theurer’s purchased Brookside
Cheese Factory on Highway 97 near Stratford,
which they operated together. Agnes helped in
the factory in the early years and also was
bookkeeper for the business until their
retirement in 1981. After retirement, Agnes and
Paul traveled throughout the United States.
Agnes was well known for and was very proud of
the many knitted and crocheted items she created
both by hand and with her knitting machines for
family and for charity.
She loved family history, keeping the family
tree current, providing copies to anyone who
requested one. Family was important and keeping
everyone informed of events was a priority to
Agnes.
She is survived by her children, Patricia
(Charles) Hastreiter, James (Cookie), all of
Marshfield, Robert (Rose) of Stratford, Rose
(Dan) Leffel of Fenwood, Wisconsin, Jeffrey of
Minneapolis, Theresa of Stratford, Annette
(George) Lescynski, and Jean (Brian) Wegner, all
of Marshfield, Karen (Les) Pinkerton of Bonners
Ferry, and a daughter-in-law, Rhonda of
Marshfield. She is also survived by 29
grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren. She is
further survived by a sister, Mary Feltz of
Marshfield, a brother and sister-in-law,
Sylvester (Doc) and Maxine Steines of Tripoli,
Wisconsin, sister-in-law Dorothy Steines of
Stratford, and a sister-in-law, Ludwina Sherman
of Tuscon, Arizona.
In eternity, she will join her parents, her
husband, a daughter, Mary (Betsy), a son, John,
sons-in-law, Roger Hoefs and Dave Weiler, and
siblings, Ann, Gertrude, Vincent, Sister Susan,
Lawrence, Pete, Frank, Margaret (Peg) and Verena
