Henriette Wilhelmina Winterhack

Henriette Winterhack went to her heavenly home to be with her Lord and Savior, her husband Alfred and son, Dale. She died on February 19, 2020, at the age of 101 years, 2 months.

Henriette was born on December 10, 1918, in Dodge County to John and Hubertje Van Kleef. She was baptized and a member of the First Reformed Church of Waupun. Henriette married Alfred G. Winterhack on November 10, 1938, and joined Immanuel Lutheran Church at the time of their marriage. They were married 64 years at the time of Alfred’s passing. Henriette’s many joys was her family and many grandchildren; attending their Christmas and birthday parties-gardening, cooking, baking, reading, sewing lots of quilts, knitting and crocheting afgans and baby sweaters. She enjoyed many years of quilting at church for quilts for missions and Bible studies with her wonderful friends. Henriette and Alfred built a lovely cottage on Lake Sharon in Waushara County which the whole family got to enjoy.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Alfred; 2 brothers, William and Theodore Van Kleef; 1 sister, Margaret (Robert) Schubert and her son, Dale Winterhack.
