Nancy L. Principe, age 82 of Kenosha passed away on Thursday, June 30, 2016, at Brookside Care Center.

Nancy was born in Wausau, WI on November 15, 1933, a daughter of the late Clarence and Abigail (Obey) Voeltzke.  She attended Wausau schools.

On March 2, 1957 she was united in marriage to Alfred A. Principe.  He preceded her in death on October 6, 2011.

Nancy was a proud and active Kenoshan, having served her community as an Alderperson for a term and had served as the Kenosha County Clerk for ten years.  She had served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Brookside Care Center for twenty years.

Her casino outings, Las Vegas trips with her family, spending time with family and friends, and singing and dancing were among the many things that Nancy enjoyed.

Nancy was an active and proud member of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic church and sang in the church choir for many years.

She will be greatly missed by her children, Anna (John) Frenner, Lori (Steve) Ruhle, and Jeff (Patti) Principe; seven grandchildren, Kelly (Andy) Johnson, Rachel Frenner, Sarah (Joe) Higgins, Alex (Lauren) Ruhle, Matthew Ruhle, JD (Danielle) Príncipe, Jentry (Dustin) Durfee and great granddaughter Reese Principe.
