Bratz, Florence A.
Florence A. Bratz, age 85, a former Valders resident, died peacefully Sunday evening, March 23, 2014 with her family by her side at the Manitowoc Health & Rehabilitation Center.
She was born on September 13, 1928 in Hilbert, daughter of the late Albert and Mathilda (Bratz) Moschel. On November 16, 1946 she married Raymond Bratz at St. John / St. James Lutheran Church, Reedsville. He preceded her in death on September 22, 2003. Florence was employed for many years at Mirro Aluminum Company, retiring in 1990. She was a member of the Ladies Aid at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church and also the Auxiliary Legion.
