Russell Lawrence Wiesen, age 94, of Waupaca, WI, passed away at his home on Thursday, December 29, 2022. Russ was born on June 8, 1928 to the late Lawrence Martin Wiesen and Edith Evelyn (Hales) Wiesen-Lewis. He graduated from Waupaca High School in 1946. In 1947, Russ joined the Army National Guard and served his country during the Berlin Crisis in 1961. He retired from the Guards after serving 26 years. On September 27, 1950, Russell was united in marriage to Donna Jean Nelson. Together they had three daughters. He was a machinist his entire life, owning and operating C&R Repair (now Waupaca Machine) with Charles Weisbrod. Faith was an integral part of his life as he was a member of St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church. As a member of St. Mary’s, he was involved with the Knights of Columbus - helping with the annual chicken BBQ and Tootsie Roll sales. His other interests included summer camping trips, boating on the Chain O’ Lakes with his grandchildren on the “Spirit of the Lakes” pontoon, and building/creating wood or metal crafts and projects. After retiring, he volunteered at Bethany Home repairing wheelchairs for the residents. You could also find him attending his grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s school or sports activities.
