He was awarded a Good Conduct Medal and Carbine Expert badge.   On May 12, 1962, Donnie was united in marriage to Shirley Theisen at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Eden.   He worked at Kieckhafer Mercury and Gehl Company, retiring as a proud member of the Hexel Bank Club. He was a member of St. Matthew’s Catholic Church and a lifelong member of the Sno Cougar Snowmobile Club.   Donnie enjoyed camping with the family, vacationing out West, hunting, fishing, casino trips, and was a die-hard Packer fan. Most important to Donnie was time spent with family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and taking his grandson to school at St. Matthew’s.    Survivors include his children, Randy (Suzanne) Ernisse, Shelly (Dan) Salter, Rick Ernisse; grandchildren, Miranda Ernisse, Priscilla (Jordan) Ernisse, Ashley (Ryan) Lindsley, Dustin (Heather) Salter, and Easton Ernisse; great-grandchildren Jack, Charlie, Millie, and Laylin; his sister, Phyllis Faber; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Darlene Ernisse, Lloyd and Janet Fellenz, Pat and Bill Wettstein, Catherine and Roger Lahm, Judy Theisen, and Cheryl Theisen, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.    Donnie was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley, on May 2, 2021; his parents, Melvin and Florence; in-laws, Henry and Viola Theisen; sisters, Delores Bandle, Marian Wojtalewicz, Betty Ann Fellenz; brother, Merlin (Sam) Ernisse; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Melvin Ebert, Elroy Bandle, Melvin Martin, Ben Wojtalewicz, Eugene Faber, James, Joseph and Daniel Theisen, Bonnie Immel; nieces and nephew, Cheryl Ann Ebert, Heidi Theisen, and Kyle Theisen.    Visitation will be Thursday, Aug. 1, from 3 p.m. until time of Mass at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, 406 E. Main St. Campbellsport.    A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 6 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church with Rev. Mark Jones officiating. Entombment will take place on Friday, Aug. 2, in Shrine of Rest Mausoleum at Ledgeview Memorial Park in Fond du Lac.    Donnie will forever be remembered for his bright smile and laughter.   The family would like to extend their immense gratitude to the Campbellsport ambulance crew and First Responders, SSM Health St. Agnes Hospital Emergency Room staff, Flight For Life medical crew, and Fond du Lac Sheriff’s Deputy Olson for their rapid response, care and compassion.    In lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to St. Matthew’s School or Columbus Parc Memorial Garden.    Twohig Funeral Home is serving the family with an online guestbook and condolences at www.twohigfunerals.

Louise Emily (Hodel) Burg

Louise Emily (Hodel) Burg


   Louise Emily (Hodel) Burg, 81, of St. Kil­ian, went to be with Jesus on July 26, 2024, after a beau­ti­fully lived life.   She was born No­vem­ber 28, 1942, the daugh­ter of Carl and Clara (Am­me­ter) Hodel.   Louise and her hus­band, Robert “Bob”, be­came united in mar­riage on No­vem­ber 28, 1964, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Menomonee Falls. For many years they lived in the St. Lawrence area and then moved to St. Kil­ian. Both con­tin­ued to walk in their faith and be­came mem­bers of St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Camp­bell­sport.   To­gether Bob and Louise en­joyed spend­ing their nearly 60 years to­gether gar­den­ing, spend­ing time out­side and at­tend­ing an­tique trac­tor shows.   Louise was in­cred­i­bly proud of and leaves be­hind her hus­band, Bob; two daugh­ters, Linda (Robert) Prokopow­icz and Roberta (John) Kuech­ler; and two grand­chil­dren, Jes­sica Saun­ders and Megan (Jacob) Hei­d­ner. Louise trea­sured her five great-grand­chil­dren and was al­ways look­ing for­ward to fam­ily gath­er­ings and bak­ing treats to share. She is also sur­vived by other rel­a­tives and many friends.   She was pre­ceded in death by her par­ents, Carl and Clara; her broth­ers, Carl and Wally; and her sis­ters, Helen and Eleanor.   Louise will al­ways be re­mem­bered for her de­vo­tion and af­fec­tion to her fam­ily, her hard work and in­cred­i­ble smile. We will miss her dearly.   Per Louise’s wishes, a pri­vate fam­ily cel­e­bra­tion of life will be held at a later date.   Twohig Fu­neral Home is serv­ing the fam­ily with on­line guest­book and con­do­lences at www.​two​higf​uner​als.​com
