Constance J. "Connie" Reinhardt
Age 84 | March 23, 2025
Constance J. “Connie” Reinhardt, age 84, passed away peacefully on March 23, 2025.
She is survived by her husband of 35 years, Francis “Fran” Reinhardt, with whom she shared over 40 years together; her sister, Bonnie (Bob) Bacholls; her children: Robert (Jean) Luepke, Patricia (John) Busch, William (Connie) Luepke, Debbie (Joe) Dalpiaz, and Lori (Scott) Fesenmaier; and her stepchildren; Kevin (Dyana) Reinhardt, Mark (Alicia) Reinhardt, and Bradley Reinhardt; 18 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Silvia Pomeranski; sister, Donna (Cyril) Schmitz; brother, Ronnie (Muriel) Pomeranski; and her son, Edward Tillman.
Connie was born in Superior, Wisconsin, and lived a life rooted in hard work, creativity, and love for her family.
She was a huge Green Bay Packers fan, rarely missing a game and always cheering loud. Earlier in life, she owned and ran a bar in Dairyland, WI called North of the Tension Line, where she worked hard and made lasting friendships.
Connie had a gift for creating things with her hands. She made wedding and graduation cakes that were intricate and impressive, often multi-tiered and decorated with care—a skill most don’t have the patience for today. She also had a knack for sewing dresses for weddings and proms. Her children also have fond memories of her painting ceramics and playing solitaire and the joy that it brought her.
Connie was known for her warmth, her work ethic, and the care she put into everything she did. She’ll be missed by many.
A memorial service will be held by the family on May 31, with location and times to be announced.
