James “Jim” Marcus Weisenberger, 88 of Ladysmith, died on Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at Ladysmith Care Community. We all remember Jim as a loving son, husband, father, brother and friend to all. Moreover, he was a man of great integrity, generosity, entrepreneurial spirit and a smile that shined brighter than a full moon!

He is survived by his wife, Audrey; five children (Doug (Kim) of Oregon; Mary (Ben) of Onalaska; Sue of Chippewa Falls; Michele (Miguel) of Hickory, NC; Bob (Cindi) of Eau Claire, and daughter-in-law Nikki of Ladysmith); 12 grandchildren (Jeff (Jazmin), Katie (Tom), Zach (Mercedes), Ryan, Marcus (Veronica), Joe, Kate, Luke, Lizzy, Julia, Jack, and Owen); 2 great-grandchildren (Gideon and Isabelle); and 6 siblings (Margaret of Brookfield; Mary Kay of De Pere; Jeanette of Austin, TX; Barbara of Bloomington, MN; John “Jack” of Fall Creek; and George of Arcadia). Jim’s parents Martha Elizabeth and Ralph Nicolas, his son Mike, and his siblings Phyllis, Eileen, Joe, and Ralph await him in Heaven.

A burial was held at Riverside Cemetery on Saturday, April 18 for immediate family only. A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Sorrows in the future (when we can gather and celebrate as a community safely). We very much look forward to hearing your stories when we celebrate Jim’s amazing life.
