Paulette M. Nereng

Paulette Marie Nereng, 74, passed away peacefully, April 11, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. We will miss her kind spirit but know that she is no longer in pain.

Paulette was born August 28, 1948, to Paul and Charlotte Bishop, and was raised in Ettrick. Paulette was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend who loved to socialize. As a young woman she enjoyed being a hairdresser, then later in life selling jewelry. Her favorite pastimes included “digging in the dirt” (gardening), doting on babies, rooting for the Packers and Badgers, and collecting all things penguins. Paulette’s great joy was being ‘Grammy’ to Niko and Milo. Her smile and friendly nature will be missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her sons: Matthew, Mark, and Michael; her siblings: Jerome, Anita and Joey; her grandchildren: Nikolai and Milo; and many, many cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews, and friends who graced her life.

Family and friends were invited to attend services, Saturday, April 15, 2023, at 12:00 p.m., at St Bridget’s Catholic Church, 22650 Washington St., Ettrick. A visitation was held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service at the church.
