Margaret Mae DePolis

Margaret Mae DePolis passed away on April 7, 2015, at St. Mary’s Care Center in Madison, Wisconsin, at the age of 100.  
Margaret was born February 16, 1915, in Spooner, Wisconsin, to Louise (Donatell) DePolis and Carl DePolis.  After graduating from Spooner High School she moved to Milwaukee where she met and married William G. Kempke in 1936.  He joined the Army during WWII and was killed in action in the invasion of Southern France.  In 1947 Margaret married Ronald C. Scalzo in Spooner, Wisconsin, and over the years they lived in Spooner, Eau Claire, and Hayward.  In 1986 they were divorced.  
Margaret’s life began in a time when horses outnumbered cars, an airplane was something that a barnstormer landed in an empty field, and many houses had not been wired for electricity.  She was one of the oldest of eight children; she knew responsibility at an early age.  She was of the generation that struggled to survive the Great Depression, then endured a world war.  Early hardships aside, Margaret led a productive and loving life, devoted to bringing-up her three children.  In later years, she enjoyed bridge, travel, reading, and socializing with family and friends.  She loved to play dominoes and bingo, and was reported to have taken occasional gambling trips to the casino.  We will miss her dearly.
Margaret is preceded in death by her daughter, Jean Marie (Fred) Hoeser, her parents, and two brothers and five sisters.  She is survived by her son William G. Kempke (Annette) of Rochester, MN, her daughter Patricia A. (Michael) Welch of Sun Prairie, WI, grandchildren Laura, Ann and Justin, and 9 great-grandchildren.
A Memorial Mass will be held 11: 00 AM Friday, June 19, 2015 at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Spooner, Wisconsin, and interment will be at the Calvary Cemetery in Spooner.  Rev. Ed Anderson will officiate. Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM until time of services at the church on Friday, June 19, 2015.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to St. Mary’s Care Center, 3401 Maple Grove Drive, Madison, WI 53719.
Rhiel Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Durand, is serving the family.
