She is survived by seven children, Judy (Dave) Diefenthaler of Madison, Wisc., and Carol Westhoff, Ron (Pat) Westhoff, Linda (Jim) Schaetzle, Jim (Nancy) Westhoff, Kathy (Jerry) Fennel and Tom (Tammy) Westhoff, all of Dubuque; 14 grandchildren; 23 great grandchildren; a sister, Rita Koerperich of Dubuque; sisters in law, Vi Boge, Arlyce (Walter) Clapham and Janet Westhoff; brothers in law Bob (Sue) Westhoff and Jerry (Kathie) Westhoff; nieces and nepews; and a special family friend, Rev. Sue Cubbage.
She was also preceded in death by her brother, Harold Boge and brothers in law, Loras Koerperich and John “Junior” Westhoff.
