Virginia Hintzman Obituary (1915 - 2013)

Virginia M. Hintzman, age 97 of Menomonie, WI died Friday, March 01, 2013 at Dunn County Health Care Center in Menomonie. Virginia was born July 24, 1915 in Minnesota. She was a high school graduate and became a "bookkeeper" with Montgomery Ward Stores and upon retiring, became a homemaker. She was married to Victor Hintzman and he died in 1991. She was a member of the Homemakers Club, and active in Peace Lutheran Church and the Women's Clubs at Peace Lutheran. When her husband passed, Virginia found new avenues of keeping busy with her "girl friends." They loved socializing and would make all the "thrift sales" and enjoyed going shopping, especially grocery shopping. She could spend hours in the grocery store talking to friends and meeting new acquaintances. She loved to cook and enjoyed "doctoring up" someone else's creations. She was very witty and crafty. She inherited a poodle named "Guy" and loved that pet. She took him everywhere and had been mentioned to that he was not allowed in a business; her reply was, "He is a Service Dog." She is survived by two children, Monika Korkiszka of Menomonie and Peter (Linda) Hintzman of Menomonie; grandchildren, Aron (Shelley) Beazley, Kayla McLean and Matt (Becky) Hintzman; step-grandchildren, Brent (Jill) Pember, Eric (Coleen) Pember and Joe (Heather) Pember; great grandchildren, Riley and Ariana Beazley, Kaylee and Lauren Hintzman, Chase and Tyler Pember, Ray and Luke Pember, and Ryan and Jake Pember; other relatives and many friends.
