Nancy Christine Kuehn
June 26, 1933 — August 13, 2022
Nancy was born on June 26, 1933 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. She was the daughter of Christine Ehlert Hirschbeck and Antone William Hirschbeck. She had two sisters, Betty Ann Hirschbeck Bienert and Susan Hirschbeck who died at birth.
She graduated from Sheboygan Central High school in 1951, where she was very active in the vocal program, singing at concerts and competing in state wide vocal programs in which she received excellent reviews.
She attended Madison General Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1954. She continued with her education by attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison receiving the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing Education in 1958.
Nancy was asked to serve as an instructor at Madison General Hospital School of Nursing right after graduation. In 1957 Charles began his law practice in Green Bay and in 1958 she was instrumental in the establishment of the school of Practical Nursing in Brown County. She also became its first instructor.
Nancy was a member of the Lawyers Wives of Brown County and the Legal Auxiliary of Wisconsin. She was an active member of the Jaycettes, the Auxiliary of the Jaycees, serving as President and holding state and national offices. She served on the Brown County Library from 1967 to 1987 holding positions of Vice President, Financial Secretary, and President. She was also a member of the Friends of the Brown County Library and a member of the Nicolet Federated Systems Board from 1977 to 1979.
Nancy was elected to the YWCA Board of Directors in 1982 to 1988 where she served as Chairwoman of the Volunteer Recognition Day, a member of the United Way Campaign Committee, Executive Committee, the Nomination Committee, and Treasurer. She also was the initial Co-Chair of the Festival of Trees.
In addition, she was a volunteer Brownie Leader, a member of the Parent Advisory Committee at Washington Middle School, and the Republican Women's Federation. In 1978 to 1987 she was the Vice-President of the Allouez Ethics Board. Nancy is also a member of Ascension Lutheran Church where she taught the 4th grade Sunday school class from 1973 to 1987 and was also the Director of the young Peoples Choir.
On November 21, 1953 at Great Lakes, Illinois, she married the love of her life, Charles Ellis Kuehn. They had been friends since grade school and married while Charles was serving in the Navy during the Korean War. They went on to have four children: Charles Ellis Kuehn, Jr. (Gib Carollo), Kevin Charles Kuehn (Rebecca), Kristin Nanciann Kuehn Nutter (Bryan), and William Charles Kuehn. She is survived by her devoted husband of 68 years, Judge Charles Kuehn, her four children, her eight grandchildren, Courtney Ann Kuehn Broadfoot (Eric), Charles Conner Kuehn, Chandler Ellis Kuehn, Ryan Anthony Kuehn (Jessica), Sarah Elizabeth Kuehn Spannbauer (Shawn), Jordan Edward Kuehn, Savannah Ann Kuehn, and Chloe Nanciann Nutter. She is further survived by three great grandchildren, Jack William Broadfoot, Charlotte Amelia Broadfoot, and Benjamin Elliot Spannbauer. One of Nancy's greatest disappointments was she was not going to meet Baby Broadfoot, due in December.
Nancy and Charlie traveled extensively. Visiting Australia, Europe, Hawaii, the Middle East, Ireland, Alaska, and most states. She also enjoyed the theatre attending many programs at the Peninsula Players, time spent at the cottage and winters in Florida.
Nancy enjoyed oil painting, numerous stitchery crafts, reading and spending time with family and friends.
She will always be remembered for her generosity, kindness, compassion, grace, and her Christmas cookies!
The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Heroes on the 7th floor of St. Vincent Hospital and the Unity Hospice Care Team. Your kindness, gentle manner and respect for Nancy will always be greatly appreciated.
In lieu of flowers the family would request donations to the Friends of the Brown County Library in memory of Nancy.
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow.
My going has eased my pain and given relief, so dry your eyes and forget your grief.
Remember the joy, our laughter, my smile and that our being apart is just for a while.
Remember me also as I used to be. Understand in your hearts, so precious to me, that I've gone on ahead to dwell up above, and 'til we're once more together….You have all my love.
