Jane "Nonnie" Gotsch

Jane Kleveno Gotsch, 94, known as "Nonnie" to all who loved her, passed away in Jacksonville, FL, on October 19, 2015. She was born in Oshkosh, WI, on June 9, 1921 to Sophia Schweitzer and Conrad Kleveno. She was married to Walter Charles Gotsch and they lived in Marietta, GA, where they raised their three children. After her husband and their three children passed away, she moved to Jacksonville, FL, to be close to two of her grandchildren there. "Nonnie" was an amazingly wise and kind lady with a constant positive attitude who loved life, her family and friends, and they admired and loved her in return. She always put others before herself and was truly a fighter. She loved her five grandchildren and great grand children more than life itself. Nonnie will be greatly missed. In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by her two daughters, Renee Catherine Gotsch Klosik and Ayres Christie Gotsch Owens; her son, Walter Charles Gotsch, Jr.; a grandson, Leo Jack Wright, Jr.; and her siblings, Pauline Kleveno Robson, Elmond Kleveno, Lloyd Kleveno, and Samuel Kleveno.
