Nancy Wentland

Age 83, of Franklin, Wisconsin, was called peacefully to God at dawn on Saturday, November 5, 2022, after her two-year, valiant, battle with cancer. Nancy was the wife of Tom and the loving mother of Beth (Frank) Korosec, Rob (Sheila), and Cheri (Dean) Broadhead. She was the nurturing grandmother to Chris and Kelly Wentland and Rosa and Gianna Broadhead. Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence and Cecilia (nee Krolick) Maurice, her husband Tom, her brothers John and Tom, and her sister Rosemarie Horvath.

Nancy was an activist, a constant learner, and a devoted friend to many. Upon moving to Greendale, Nancy immersed herself into her parish community and raised the awareness of social injustices through her participation in Catholic Family Movement (CFM) and the St. Alphonsus Human Concerns committee. Nancy also took an active role in the parish and school administration through her work on the Parish Council and school board. After retiring from Alverno College (a job she loved with colleagues she adored), Nancy’s continual pursuit of learning and her broad friendships lead her to quilting, bridge playing and Mahjong and volunteering with Zilber Hospice and the Greendale public schools early reading program.

Her diverse and broad friendships were the glimmer in her eye. Nancy treasured the laughter, the love, and the kindness of her friends - all who played a pivotal role in her battle with cancer.
