Virginia Reicks, 99, of Lawler, died Monday, Sept. 14, 2020, at New Hampton Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.
Virginia’s remarkable, long life began Oct. 26, 1920, when she was born to Theodore and Alice (Mansheim) Uhlenhake in Neillsville, Wisconsin.
At a young age, she and her family, which included six siblings, moved to Iowa. The Uhlehakes farmed in the Calmar, Ossian and Festina areas, and Virginia attended country schools and was an eighth-grade graduate of St. Aloysius Catholic School in Calmar.
