04/29/2019 I was informed by Bernie Neiweem '66 that his younger sister Jane Ann Neiweem passed away in her sleep.

" Gary, I learned today that my sister, Jane Ann Neiweem, passed away in her sleep last night. She was a graduate of the WHS class of '68. We do not have any current information about funeral plans."

Bernie also added this from a Facebook post,

my sister, Jane Ann Neiweem, died last night unexpectedly. She was 68 and a graduate of WHS Class of '68. She was a candy-stripper, a nurse trainee, an RN, a Nurse supervisor, and MBA in Hospital Administration. She spent a long career working as a nurse or a hospital administrator and was loved by her colleagues. She is survived by her long-time partner, Craig Peterson. She spent her life supporting her family, her colleagues, and her friends. To quote a step-nephew ( a step-nephew!) "She was always kind to me. No matter how long it had been since she'd seen me, it was always, "How great to see you! so glad you are in the family!" She was always kind to me!
No info as of now about services, etc.

Phil did attend the Class of 1968's 50th Reunion on 10/06/2018.

Rest in Peace Phil.

03/04/2019 I just saw this on Facebook from Carole Allgauer: "It’s with great sadness that my brother, Phil Reese class of 1968 , has passed away today of heart failure. We would like you to raise a glass to this personable, funny and sincere guy. Gone too soon."

Phil had no junior year or senior year picture in either of those yearbooks.

Rest In Peace Phil
