Obituary

Bernard Kleiber, age 92, of Plymouth, WI went to be with our Lord on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, after a short battle with cancer. He passed away in his home surrounded by his family and immersed in their love.


Bernard is survived by his adoring wife of 66 years, Carole. Theirs was a true love that will carry through eternity. Bernard and Carole, both originally of Manitowoc, were dairy farmers in Branch, WI, before moving their dairy operation to the Plymouth area in 1959. Bernard was a renowned herdsman. Prior to meeting Carole, Bernard served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Franklin during WWII. He received a bronze star for his service. Bernard had the privilege of participating in the Honor Flight for WWII veterans this past summer.


Bernard and Carole built a home in Cedar Key FL in 1980. Bernard retired from farming in 1985, and spent time with family on both the family farm and at their home in Cedar Key. Bernard was an amazing and loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was quiet by nature and exuded a strong and charismatic presence. He was very well respected by his family and the community as being a gentle man of honesty, strength, and integrity.


Bernard was married to Carole Rose (Holschbach) on November 27, 1946. Their marriage was blessed with thirteen children and their loving families. Bernie and Nancy of Whitewater, Bill and Kathy of Sarasota, FL, Joe and Veronica of Viroqua, Mike and Barb of Gillette, Paul and Patty of Plymouth, Pat and Jane of Darlington, Frank and Judy of Nekoosa, Bob and Diane of Elkhart Lake, Ann and James Schultz of School Hill, Carol and Gregg Morgan of Dawsonville GA, Theresa and John Moore of Elkhart Lake, and Borge and Katie of Plymouth. Bernard and Carole have 37 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. Bernard was preceded in death by three great-grandchildren.
