Lola Dale (Rohde) Nehls

Lola Dale Nehls was born on August 24, 1923. She and her parents, Adeline and Ray Rohde, lived in Juneau, Wisconsin.  Lola graduated from Juneau High School in June, 1941 and was later employed at the Dodge County Title and Abstract Office. She married Louis Nehls Jr. on June 15, 1946. Together they had four children Renee (Larry) Panzer, Steven (Pamela) Nehls, Nadine Nehls (Jeffrey Grossman) and Annette Nehls (Gary Walsh). She is also survived by six grandchildren, Sarah Panzer, Mark (Kira) Panzer, Lindsay Nehls, Jessica (Nick) Rennhack, Mila Grossman (Rohan Agarwal), Samuel Walsh and seven great grandchildren, Delaney, Emrie, and Gavin Rennhack, Vivian and Felix Panzer, and Arlo and Lena Agarwal.

Lola died on September 21, 2024 at Hillside Manor in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin at the age of 101. The family wishes to thank the Hillside Manor Springbrook staff for their loving and thoughtful care of Lola.

Lola will be deeply missed. However, she leaves behind the gift of many memories. Her family will always remember the special occasions she created, especially around holidays, with beautiful decorations, abundant and delicious food, and generous gift giving. Lola was full of charming contrasts - kind yet irreverent, quiet yet entertaining, and busy yet always available to her family. Lola enjoyed the simple things in life. She was a voracious reader, a fast walker, and an avid gardener. Lola had a quick and easy smile and a sparkle in her eye.

There will be a service to honor Lola at 2 pm on Thursday, September 26th, 2024 at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Juneau, Wisconsin. Visitation will be at the church from 1 to 2 pm. Lola loved reading and children; if so inclined, consider a donation in her memory to Juneau Public Library or St John’s Evangelical Lutheran School in Juneau, Wisconsin.

The Berndt-Ledesma Funeral Home-Juneau is serving the family.
