Audrey E. Lemmer

Audrey E. Lemmer, 87, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, under the care of St. Croix Hospice.

Born on August 17, 1938, in Wausau, Audrey was the daughter of the late Herbert and Myrtle (Burk) Leitermann. The only child of her parents, she grew up on the family farm in Marathon. For more than 35 years, she worked in medical records at the Bone and Joint Clinic, where her dedication and caring nature were widely admired. A lifelong faithful member of St. Anne Catholic Church in Wausau, Audrey found great joy in cooking and gathering her family for holidays and birthdays. She also loved playing the piano.

For 40 years, Audrey shared a loving partnership with Orville. Together they enjoyed Friday night fish fries with a traditional old fashioned, watching NASCAR and Packer games, camping at the Wisconsin Valley Fair, attending church picnics, and traveling the world. Their adventures took them to Germany, Hawaii, Italy, Branson, Las Vegas, Disney World, Washington DC, and many other places.

Audrey shared a deep and special bond with her grandchildren and great-grandson, cherishing every moment spent with Casey (Kaitlynn), Mackenzie, Conrad, Cade, Chloe (Dee), and Luka. She is survived by her son, Craig (Heidi) Lemmer, her daughter, Lana (Dave) Brounacker, and her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved partner Orville, and her loyal dog, Buddy.
