Kathleen Sue Andreae-Riley (nee Waszkiewicz), age 75, passed away peacefully, on June 2, 2022 in Ringle, Wis.
Kathleen was born Sept. 11, 1946 to Frank and Dolly Waszkiewicz in Garden City, Mich. On Jan. 4, 1964 she was united in marriage to Ervin Andreae. Kathleen loved cooking for her family, with Memorial Day gatherings being one of her favorites. When she wasn’t making quilts for babies, she could be found reading about spirituality, faith and relationships. She was an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Also drove semi truck with both spouses, and was also awarded with One Million Miles Driven.
Kathleen was a fiercely independent and proud woman that could, at times, be described as stubborn. After the passing of Ervin, Kathleen married Marty Riley.
Kathleen will be missed dearly by her three children Susan (Gary) Hollar, Lisa Jaecks and Robert (George) Andreae; four grandchildren, Amanda, Stephine, Josh and Fawna; one great-grandchild, Jace; siblings, Delores Mary Ricinski, Frank (Janice) Waszkiewicz, Michael (Theresa) Waszkiewicz, Lynnea (Debbie) Waszkiewicz, Teresa Hancock along with many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; and husbands, Ervin and Marty; and a great-granddaughter, Ryver.
