Lee N. Batterman, 58, of the town of Byron, passed away on Friday, August 13,
2010, at Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah from injuries received in a
farming accident.
He was born on October 14, 1951, in Waupun, the son of the late Neil C. and Ruth
(Zills) Batterman, and on June 11, 1983, he was united in marriage to Ruth
Smedema at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Oakfield.

and Dorset sheep at county and state fairs. Lee was a former member of the Fond
du Lac County Pork Producers and of the Market Livestock Sales Committee. He

Eden Café and as one who enjoyed ice cream daily. He will be deeply missed by
his wife, his family and by all who knew him.

children, Michael Batterman (special friend, Erica Bohn), Katie (Ryan) Wagner,
Ryan, Emily and Allison Batterman; a sister, Kay (Dave) Steffens of the town of
