ANN BRIDGET BRADY WELLNER
(1906 - 2003)

Ann Bridget (Brady) Wellner, 96, Madison, formerly of Green Bay, passed away on June 11, 2003.

Ann was born Dec. 25, 1906, in the Town of Franklin, Wis., in Kewaunee County, to Terrance and Mary (Brett) Brady. Ann received a teaching certificate from Door- Kewaunee Normal School and began what would become a 46-year teaching career in Rudyard, Mich. It was here she learned to cross country ski from her students. She maintained friendships all through the years with her students from Rudyard and wherever she taught. Ann taught students in one and two-room schools in Wisconsin, from Carlton, Denmark, Alaska, Flintville and spent over 20 years at Bellevue School, Donovan and Sybil Hopp. While teaching, Ann pursued her education at Oshkosh Teacher's College and graduated from St. Norbert College in 1956. She also did further study on her Master's Degree from Cardinal Stritch College. She belonged to the Wisconsin Retired Educators' Association and Brown County Retired Teachers. In addition, Ann co-owned and operated Brady's Bar with her sister, Bess, for 33 years. Brady's Bar was known for its St. Patrick's Day celebrations and became a tradition to friends and family of Irish descent and those who enjoyed Irish culture. Ann married Michael Edward Wellner in 1934. He died in 1935.

Ann is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Barbara and C. A. Van Den Heuvel, Madison, Wis.; a grandson, Michael Edward (Lauren) Van Den Heuvel and their daughter, Bridget Ann Van Den Heuvel, named after her great-grandmother, Middleton, Wis.; granddaughters, Erin Marie Wagner and Shannon Bridget (Tom) Hester, Denver, Colo. Ann is further survived by one nephew, James E. (Carol) Brady, De Pere, Wis.; and 11 nieces, Ellen Brady, Pat Brady Belter, Kathy Brady (Querin) Frelich, Betty Brady (Roger) Durocher, Mary Brady (Roger) Gillis, Peggy Brady (Dennis) Rabitoy, all of Green Bay, Wis.; Joan Wendler (Lloyd) Zellmer; Mary Ellen Wendler (Richard) Gaab; Margaret Wendler Coleman, Berlin, Wis.; Eileen Dushensky (Ron) Voskuil, Oshkosh, Wis.; Jean Dushensky, Cudahy, Wis. She is survived by many grand and great-nieces and nephews of whom Ann took such interest in pride. Ann was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary (George) Wendler, Margaret (Bess) (Darrel) Swensen, Alice (Ben) Karrels, Esther (George) Dushensky; and her brothers, James P. (Luella) Brady, John N. (Lorraine) Brady and two brothers who died as infants in the Great Influenza epidemic, George and Michael, nieces, Kathleen (Dushensky) Hobart and Maureen (Brady) Bailey; nephew, Terrance Brady; grand-nephew, Patrick John Coleman; nephew-in-law, John Coleman; and her dear Irish friend, Blanche (Conniff) Van Den Heuvel-Ronk.

Friends may call at Proko-Wall Funeral Home and Crematory, 1630 E. Mason Street, 468-4111, on Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. Parish Prayer Service at 7 p.m. Friday. Visitation will continue Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. at St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church, 645 S. Irwin Ave. Mass of Christian Burial at church at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Nathan Jaskulski OFM officiating. Burial at St. James Church Cemetery in Cooperstown.

A special thanks to Pat Brady Belter who took care of Aunt Ann for many years; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Mancheski and their children who treated her like family; the McCormick Memorial Staff; Rev. James W. Hinnen who visited her in Madison; and Ann Erickson who treated her as her mom too.

A high point of Ann's life was a trip to Ireland with her granddaughter, Erin. She was so proud of her Irish heritage and seeing Ireland was her dream come true. She was caregiver to her two sisters and a brother and taught students with special education needs for over 20 years. These qualities are what we try to emulate in our own lives. Thank you for being our teacher and role model, and for putting the needs of others first. We know that God has a special place for you in heaven as we have a special place for you in our hearts, always. We love you Gram.
