Kolar, Audrey Loretta
d. November 10, 2014
Audrey Loretta (Heimann) Kolar, age 74, formerly of Damiansville, IL, died March 11, 2014 in Pewaukee, WI. She was born January 30, 1940 in Damiansville, IL, to Louis and Nora (Horstmann) Heimann, who both preceded her in death. Audrey is survived by her husband of 46 years, Ron; daughter, Laurie (Terry) Wohlfiel of Pewaukee, WI; and her three grandsons, Erik, Dylan and Nic, whom she affectionately called “the boys”. Also surviving is a brother, Melvin (Yvonne) Heimann of Breese, IL; sisters, Aurea (Dave) Frerker of Glen Carbon, IL, Grace Walker of Queretaro, Mexico, Donna (John) Goldman of Evanston, IL, and Lois (Rodger) Kalmer of Damiansville, IL; brothers-in-law Ralph Ottensmeier of Granville, OH & John Kowalski of Overland Park, KS; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her son, Bart Kolar; her brother, Lester Heimann; her sisters, Norma Ottensmeier and Marlene Carmack; and her sisters-in-law, Marilyn Kowalski & Barbara Gramm.
Audrey was an advocator for her son and those who could not advocate for themselves. She patiently listened to any and all, unselfishly volunteered for her community and church, strongly stood for what she believed in, proudly supported and cared for her family members, and graciously helped anyone in any way that she could. She immensely enjoyed spending time with her family, especially “the boys”. She was the best audience for various sporting events, school activities and backyard fun. This drove her decision to leave her hometown of 65 plus years and move to Wisconsin to be closer to her immediate family. She had a heart of gold and the patience of a saint.
Funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 15, 2014, at St. Damian Catholic Church in Damiansville, IL. Interment will follow at St. Damian Cemetery in Damiansville, IL.
Friends may call from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at St. Damian’s before the funeral mass.
