DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- Imogene Hyacinth (Beckmann) Wieneke, 90, formerly of Dyersville, passed away Thursday, Feb. 2, 2011, in Issaquah, Wash., after a brief illness. She was living with her son, James, and his family at the time of her death.
Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, May 24, at St. Francis Xavier Basilica, Dyersville, with Robert Gross officiating. Burial will be in St. Francis Cemetery, Dyersville. Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday, May 23, at Kramer Funeral Home, Dyersville, where there will be a scripture service at 6 p.m.
She was born on Dec. 19, 1920, on a farm northeast of Dyersville, the youngest child of Joseph and Antoinette (Tegeler) Beckmann. At age 5, her family sold the farm and moved to Dyersville, where she attended the St. Francis Xavier schools. After graduation from the Waterloo School of Beauty Culture in 1940, Imogene worked as a beautician for many years.
She married Charles Wieneke at 7 a.m. Tuesday, May 3, 1943, at St. Francis Xavier Church, Dyersville. Their honeymoon was brief, as Charles was on leave from the Army. Imogene followed Charles to Camp Crowder, Mo., and Miami, where she worked as a beautician. After World War II, they settled in Dyersville. In 1959, Charles' work caused them to move to Rockford, Ill., where they lived for almost 40 years before moving back to Dyersville.
Imogene was a very compassionate person who helped care for family members at various times throughout their lives. She also volunteered at Rockford Memorial Hospital. She loved dancing, bowling and an occasional card game. One of her simple pleasures later in life, which she enjoyed almost daily, was a latte with caramel flavoring and whipped cream.
Surviving are her three children, Trudy (William) Schade, of Colorado, John (Virginia), of California, and James (Nancy), of Washington; four grandsons, Christopher Schade, Gregory Schade, Benjamin Wieneke and Thomas Wieneke; and two great-grandchildren, Deven and Eliot Schade.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Charles, on June 13, 2008; her brothers, Joe Beckmann and Al Beckmann; sisters, Hilda Beckmann, Agatha Barry and Reinilda Beckmann; half brothers, Hubert Beckmann and Ray Beckmann; and half sisters, Bertha Oberbroeckling and Eleanor Nadermann.
