Adeline A. "Addie" Mercier, 95, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 7, 2016, at her residence surrounded by her loving family. Born in Elk Mound, WI, on August 23, 1920, she was the daughter of the late Anton and Catherine (Molitor) Ackerman. She was educated in the schools of Elk Mound and moved to Kenosha in 1953. On September 25, 1945, she married Wallace W. "Wally" Mercier in Eau Claire, WI. He preceded her in death on January 31, 2005. Addie was a former member of Lakeshore Tabernacle where she was active in Bible study. She loved playing Skip-Bo with her friends and was well known for her delicious Butterhorns. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and attending her grandchildren’s activities. Survivors include her two sons, Terry (Louise Leto) Mercier and Mark (Jeanne) Mercier, both of Kenosha; two daughters, Debbie (Jack) Barber and Shelly (Dave) Wildman, both of Kenosha; eight grandchildren, Nick Mercier, Jake Mercier, Katelyn Mercier, Jason Vogt, Rachel (Jon) Swift, Jennie Vogt, Taylor Wildman and Courtney Wildman; three step grandchildren, Kellen (Nickie) Barber, Amanda Barber and Abbie Barber; one great-grandson, Caleb Mercier; and three step great-grandchildren, Kayli, Lily and Belle, four sisters in-law; Dolly Scott, Edith Mercier, Ann Mercier and Marion (John) Vanheldon and one brother in-law, Chuck (Peg) Mercier. She was preceded in death by a son, Gregory A. Mercier on May 28, 2004; a granddaughter, Brittney Wildman on February 5, 1991; and six brothers and sisters. The family would like to thank Dr. Friedl, her caregivers Judy Colson and Stella Hernandez, and Hospice Alliance for all of the kind and compassionate care they gave Addie. Visitation will be held on Monday, July 11th, at Proko Funeral Home from 3:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at 5:30 p.m. Interment will be private.

I'm so sorry about Addie. These past few years I have thought of her often. It was a joy working with her at Shady Lawn. Her butter horns were the best. She was always so kind and thoughtful. She will be missed. May her memory be a blessing.
