Paul “PUD” Ramseier and Beverly “Bev” Mae (Mickelson) Ramseier
Paul “PUD” Ramseier, 93, Cadott, got his wings Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, at his home in rural Cadott. Beverly Mae (Mickelson) Ramseier, 88, Cadott, got her wings Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2022, at Mayo Hospital in Eau Claire.
Paul was born Sept. 5, 1928, to Fred and Della (Harvey) Ramseier, in the Town of Sigel, where he grew up and attended Toutant School.
Beverly “Bev” was born May 9, 1933, to Morris and Gladys (Hedrington) Mickelson, in the Town of Sigel, where she grew up and attended Progressive School.
The two were married March 19, 1949; next month, would have been their 73rd anniversary.
Paul was a first generation “American.” He was a proud dairy farmer all his life, being the second generation on their century old Swiss homestead, which he was proud to share, is now on the fourth generation.
He also drove school bus, roofed barns, did soil testing for ASC and prior to purchasing the farm, worked in California, doing new construction.
His favorite activities included fishing, smelting/salmon fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, reading all the farm journals and in the later years, tending the fishing ponds on their property, ice fishing with his buds and “organic” gardening before it was cool – grapes, potatoes and his apple trees were his favorite.
Bev was also a dairy farmer and worked right beside Paul for many years. In addition, she worked at Presto, Corner Motors, Home Health, the Corner Store and the fitness center.
Her favorite activities over the years, included cooking, baking, snowmobiling, crocheting, bowling, homemakers’ group, teaching Bible school and babysitting all the little ones.
In the later years, she loved Facebook, and reading books and playing solitaire online. She will be remembered for always feeding others and putting their needs first before her own.
Paul and Beverly were all about family, and everyone who knew them, knew it mattered most before anything else. They also had a ton of special nieces/nephews and neighbor kids who grew up visiting, or helping on the family farm, that they often reminisced about how proud they were of.
It is only fitting that they would decide to exit together, as one would never have lived without the other.
They are survived by children – David (Lorene) Ramseier, Patricia (Bernard) Oberle, Lennis (Marilyn) Ramseier, Bruce (Barb) Ramseier, Paula (Fritz) Pozarski and Penny (Tom) Nesvacil; daughter-in-law – Linda Ramseier; grandchildren – Paul (Marie) Oberle, Jamie Oberle, Matt (Jess) Oberle, Jason (Dani) Ramseier, Kristina (Mark) Briggs, Kerry (Ben) Vance, BJ (Carissa) Ramseier, Bill (Brandi) Ramseier, Jon (Ashley) Pozarski, Tom (Tonie) Pozarski and Alex Pozarski, Robbi Nesvacil, Nicky Nesvacil and Jayda Nesvacil; Tina Hester, Delores (Bryon) Parrish and Rosa Parks; greatgrandchildren – Brett and Lauren, Adriana, Emma, Griffon, Sawyer and Bennett, Blake and Owen, Corey, Nathan and Sam, Emma, Tyler and Joey, Archer, Ezra and Tyson, Coy and Clara, Brandt, Piper and David; Bev’s siblings – Nancy (Marvin) Luedtke, Mary Manthei and Judy Johnson; and Paul’s sibling – John Ramseier They were preceded in death by son – Dennis; daughter – Peggy; Bev’s parents; Bev’s sisters – Mabel, Bonnie, Geneva, Ione, Joan and Caroline; Bev’s brother – Morris “Bub”; Paul’s parents; Paul’s brothers – Rallen, Harry, James, George and Jake; and Paul’s sisters – Edith, Lorraine and Hilda.
