Obituary:

Bernice N. Budrus, 104 of Mosinee, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4th, 2025 under hospice care at Rennes Health & Rehab in Weston.

She was born on August 2, 1920 in Lublin, WI the 4th child of the late Walter and Stella (Zaba) Woytowicz. On June 30th, 1945 Bernice was united in marriage to George J. Budrus and together they owned and operated Budrus Elevator in Gilman for many years. Bernice was devoted to her faith and her church and had too many interests and hobbies to list. However, her greatest enjoyment came from gardening and the meticulous manner she kept their yard. With her knack for landscaping and an abundance of flowers their yard was amazing throughout the seasons; year after year.

Bernice is survived by many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews and even great-great nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Mary Woytowicz. She was preceded in death by her husband of 79 years, George, her sisters, Jean Zajac, Lottie Nowicki, and Woytowicz brothers, John, Walter, Ted, Stanley, Edward, Milton and William.
