Glenice Klestinski

Glenice (Andraska) Klestinski was born on July 7, 1947, in Wausau to Roman and Marcella Andraska. She graduated from Edgar High School in 1965 and moved to Minneapolis, where she began her career in banking. One of her favorite memories from those years was spotting The Beatles during a visit to a local hotel.

She later returned to central Wisconsin and worked as an executive assistant at Crestline in Wausau. It was there that she met her future husband, Robert “Rob” Klestinski. They were married on July 3,1970, at Sacred Heart Church in the town of Cassel.

In 1976, Glenice joined the Nicolet Federated Library System in Green Bay, where she enjoyed a rewarding 34-year career and formed many lasting friendships before retiring as business manager in 2010.

Following retirement, Glenice and Rob moved to Trilogy in Gilbert, Ariz., where they enjoyed their retirement years together.

Family was at the heart of Glenice’s life. She loved hosting family celebrations and was known for her sense of style, love of contemporary interior design, fashion, shopping, traveling and creating warm and welcoming homes. Summer vacations in Door County were among her favorite traditions. Glenice will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, elegance and genuine interest in the lives of others.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Klestinski (2020); her father, Roman Andraska (2013); and her mother, Marcella Andraska (2017).

She is survived by her siblings: Karen Donahue of Bend, Ore., David (Diane) Andraska of Black River Falls, Mark Andraska of Marathon, James (Kim) Andraska of Ellijay, Ga., and Paul (Catharine) Andraska of Fort Worth, Texas; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations toward a memorial plaque honoring Glenice's life and legacy.
