Marianne Hlava

Marianne Hlava, nee Sieke of Sussex WI was called home by our Lord on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at the age of 85. She passed away peacefully at Hartland Terrace in Hartland, WI.

Marianne was a first generation American born August 9, 1940 in Milwaukee WI to Emil and Hilde Sieke who were German immigrants.

Marianne grew up in Brookfield, WI and graduated from Brookfield East High School in June 1958. Marianne met her husband Charles at the young age of 15. They married on June 25, 1960, and shared 58 anniversaries before Charles’ passing in 2018. We know our mom is dancing again with our dad with no more pain, illness or disease.

Marianne held many different jobs throughout her working career. The job she enjoyed the most was being a school bus driver for special needs children. But to Marianne, her most important “job” was being a wife and mom.

Family meant a lot to Marianne. She dearly loved her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. As well as our old family dog, Buddy, and her rescue dogs, Moose and Missy.

She loved to laugh and often said, “Being able to always find something to laugh about, especially during difficult times, is what gets you through them”. She enjoyed spending time at their condo in Myrtle Beach and took up golf later in life so she could join our dad on the golf course. She was also an avid bowler and spent many years in different bowling leagues.

One of Marianne’s favorite pastimes was gardening, and for several years she was a member of the Menomonee Falls Garden Club. She always had a vegetable garden and would spend hours in the kitchen canning produce from her garden. Marianne also loved to crochet. She crocheted many prayer shawls for Community Memorial Hospital along with blankets for family and friends.

Our parents taught us kids how to work hard. We each started working at the age of 12 doing our subdivision paper route, which was in our family for over 20 years.

We will deeply miss our mom/grandma/great-grandma. May her love continue to shine in our hearts each and every day.

Marianne is survived by her children; Dan (Beth), Susan (Steve), Gary (Andrea), Mark (Michelle) and her 8 grandchildren; Adam, Lauren, Andrew, Miranda (Kyle), Mitchell (Wendy), Carley (Noah), Hunter & Braeden and her two great-grandchildren; Carter & Kinsley. She is preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws, her brother, her husband and all of her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

In memory of Marianne, please donate to the Alzheimer’s/Dementia Association and/or the WI Humane Society.

Please join us on Thursday March 26th, in celebrating and remembering our mom at an informal gathering in the lower level social room at First Congregational United Church Of Christ, 246 E Capitol Dr Hartland WI 53029 from 5-7:00pm with a brief eulogy and prayer at 6:30. Enter church in back at the “Pastors Office” door. If in need of elevator, enter front of church.

The color green has long been associated with Ireland, so it makes perfect sense that we should wear green to honor St. Patrick's Day. Do you wear anything special to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Sally E. Dillner

In the early morning hours of March 15, Sally (Claude) Dillner, 70, peacefully danced her way into the arms of Jesus, surrounded by her loving family.

Sally was a warrior all the way until the end, when inevitably, she succumbed to complications from her nearly 40 years of being confined to a wheelchair.

Sally wore many hats—an artist, a special education teacher, friend, sister and daughter, but the one that she most proudly wore, was that of mother and grandmother. To those who knew Sally, she would light up like no other in the presence of her son, John Dillner, daughter, Karin (Dillner) Mahoney, and their families. She was a gift to those who knew her, and we are all lucky to have loved someone as beautiful as she was.

Sally’s nearly 40 years of living in her chair would not have been possible without the tireless love and support of the many caregivers, nursing staff and care managers. To each and every one of them, her children sincerely owe you a debt of gratitude. You all have done so much to help keep her happy, healthy, and thriving throughout her entire journey. An extra special thank you to her final home health care agency staff that fought fiercely for her—Kathi Papa, Wilma, Sue and Ruth.

Sally is survived by her daughter, Karin (Dillner) Mahoney, son-in-law, Christian (CJ) Mahoney, grandbabies, Joey, Harrison and Maggie Mahoney; son John Dillner and daughter-in-law, Colleen (Wall) Dillner, grandbabies, Camryn, Mikayla and Leah Dillner. She is further survived by siblings John (Francis) Claude, David (Cheryl) Claude, Katie (Tom) Doucette, Danny (Lynne) Claude, Martha (Jerry) Annis, and Mary (Claude) McLay. And from those siblings, an incredible amount of amazing nieces and nephews and their families.

Her heavenly welcome crew includes parents, Dr. John and Mary Claude, and spouse(s), Claus Dillner and Harry Keast.

A Celebation of Sally's Life will be held at 11:30 am on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Evert-Luko Funeral Home, Hartland. Family and friends are invited to visit the funeral home directly from 10:00 am until the time of the service. A reception will follow, where we welcome friends and loved ones to share the mic and tell stories about Sally.

In lieu of flowers, please dance freely in her honor, or should you feel so inclined, donate to a community that meant so much to her—Oakwood Church. (Oakwood Church Pledge Link) Please reference Sally Dillner in your contribution.

Jean M. Lehmann

Jean Marie Lehmann was lifted into Heaven on March 12, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family. She was born in Milwaukee on January 8th, 1942 to James and Marie Dooley and leaves behind a legacy of service, creativity, and devotion to those she loved.

Jean shared an extraordinary life with her husband, Willard. Their marriage of nearly 65 years was filled with love, partnership, and devotion. Together they enjoyed many beautiful sunsets, firework shows and sailboat races on Nagawicka Lake from the screened-in patio of the home they built together in 1960 where they have lived ever since. In her final years, Willard lovingly cared for Jean at home, showing the same commitment and love that defined their life together.

Jean was an avid quilter whose beautiful creations were shared with family, friends, and community members throughout the years. Her passion for community involvement was evident in the many organizations she dedicated her time to, including the Bark River school board, the Delafield Library board, the Hartland Women’s Club, investment clubs, book clubs and the many quilt guilds. She donated hundreds of her beautiful sewing projects to those in need including bags for breast cancer survivors, and quilts for churches. She believed deeply in giving back and helping build a strong and caring community. She was a regular blood donor for over 30 years. She volunteered many years for the Channel 10 Auction and volunteered her time making lunches for Meals on Wheels.

Quilting was one of her favorite pastimes but Jean was also a skilled baker. For years she worked at Nashotah Ovens and at the Donut Nook in Delafield plus baked countless delicious goodies for bake sales and for her family at home. She loved caring for her beautiful flower gardens. She was a big fan of Birkenstock sandals. She had dozens of pairs in her collection and wore them year round.

Above all, Jean cherished her role as a grandmother. She loved her seven grandchildren dearly - Madyson, Kaitlyn, Marlehna, Elizabeth, Cole, Nola Jean, and August. Grandma Jean was their biggest supporter and rarely missed a moment in their lives. She could be found in the stands at basketball, soccer, lacrosse, football, softball and baseball games, school events and dance recitals, cheering them on in every kind of weather and at any time of the day. Her presence, encouragement, and pride meant the world to them.

Jean was welcomed into Heaven with open arms by her beautiful granddaughter, Marlehna, whom she loved deeply and carried in her heart always.

Jean is survived by her children Laura, Michael (Margo) and Kristine. Jean’s family, friends, and community will remember her for her generous spirit, her kindness to others, and the happiness and humor she brought to everyone.

Jean’s memory will live on in the lives she touched, the quilts she lovingly stitched, and the family and friends who will forever carry her love with them.

A Memorial Service will take place at 10:00am, Friday, March 20, at Evert-Luko Funeral Home 170 Warren Avenue, Hartland, followed by a Christian burial at The Gardens of Stone Bank.

A Celebration of Jean’s Life will be held on Sunday, March 22, 2026 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Ironwood Golf Course at W270 N6166 Moraine Dr. Sussex, WI 53089.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Alzheimer's Association or the Marleh Lehmann Scholarship Foundation.

Joan T. Daley

Joan T. Daley, age 96, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026. She was born on March 6, 1930 in Okauchee. Joan was joyfully reunited in heaven with her husband, Joseph Daley; her parents, Frank and Anna Kysely; and all her siblings, Jerome, Francis, Catherine, Margaret, Mary, Tony, Justin, Bob and Winn. Joan has greatly missed them, and now they are together again.

Forever sorely missed by her daughters, Anne (Vince Mulhollon) and Mary; as well as her much loved grandchildren, Ryan and Molly. For 23 years, Joan embraced and loved on her grandchildren. She attended every special event that they were involved in up until she could no longer. She was so proud of everything they did. She was happiest spending time with them. She showed nothing but unconditional love to them and every time spent together was filled with pure joy. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Further survived by one sister-in-law, and many nieces, nephews and friends.

She worked as a postal clerk at the Okauchee Post Office. Then she was a talented cake decorator for many years at Dotties Bakery in Stone Bank.

She was a long-time member of St. Clare’s in North Lake. Once she moved to Hartland she became a member at St. Charles. She was also a long-time volunteer for Lake Country Caring.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, March 23, 2026 at Evert-Luko Funeral Home, 170 Warren Avenue in Hartland, with a visitation from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service.

Memorials made to Zachariah Acres would be appreciated. Zachariah Acres is a place that provides events for special needs families. Joan loved going to the events there with Molly and Ryan.

The family would like to thank the many caregivers that worked directly with Joan. There have been many who have gone above and beyond to care for her and loved her like their own. Many thanks to Allay Hospice and a very special thanks to Marcy Loessin who came into our lives when we really needed her. She was mom’s first caregiver and they absolutely adored each other.

The family is requesting that guests please extend a handshake instead of a hug to Ryan and Molly.
