Cleta entered Eternal Life on October 20, 2025, at the age of 86. She was the loving wife of the late Mike for 60 years. Beloved mother of Brian (Christine) and the late Steven (Gianna). Loving grandmother of Jennifer, Morgan, Gabriella, and Jackson.

Cleta was a wonderfully organized and meticulous woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures. Whether casting a line on a quiet morning of fishing, tackling a challenging sudoku or crossword, or curling up with a good book, she cherished moments of calm and reflection. Her true happiness, however, came from gathering her loved ones together. She delighted in hosting holiday dinners, filling her home with warmth, laughter, and the comforting aroma of her delicious baked treats. Her family was her greatest joy, and she took immense pride in creating memories that will be treasured for generations.

She will be laid to rest next to her late husband at St. Francis Borgia Cemetery in Cedarburg.
