Ilse Neumann

Ilse was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, where she met the love of her life, Manfred Neumann. They were married May 9, 1953 in Hamburg and immigrated to the United States in October of 1956. Together they built a family and business. Ilse proudly worked alongside her husband as the Office Manager and Bookkeeper of Neumann Dental Lab until retirement in 1997. Upon retiring she and Manfred became snowbirds trading in the bitter Michigan winter for the beautiful sunshine in Florida. Ilse was caring and generous, she truly cherished every moment. She enjoyed cooking, baking, tending her flower garden and traveling- Boca Raton, Germany and cruises were among her favorites. Ilse was very involved with the Ladies Ministries and sang in the Church Choir.

She is survived by her loving husband of 70 years, Manfred; their children, Martin (Jan) Neumann, Angela (Clare) Trost, Thomas (Monica) Neumann; grandchildren, Andrea (Michael) McGuire, Kevin Trost, Nicholas (Adrienne) Neumann, Kelly (Andrew) Thompson, Erika (Charles) Ongena, Lisa (William Smith) Neumann-Smith; great-grandchildren, Claire McGuire, Graham McGuire, Henry Ongena, James Neumann, Lucy Ongena, Benjamin Neumann; her siblings, Helmuth Chitralla and Margrit Schmidt.
