Louise Agnes (Ney) Kohls, 88, Green Bay, was called home by our heavenly Father April 13, 2022.  She was born June 25, 1933 in Sheboygan, WI to Joseph George Ney and Olivia (Jetzer) Ney.  She spent much of her youth in Sheboygan until finishing the last three years at Washington High School in Milwaukee, 1951.  She worked as an executive secretary at Trostel and Sons Tannery in Milwaukee before and after secretarial school at Prospect Hall, 1953.  She married Robert Louis Holzfurtner Kohls January 29, 1955 and selflessly devoted most of her adult life to beautifully raising eight children living in various communities (Milwaukee, Hannibal, Appleton, Peshtigo, New London, Hortonville, Juneau, Slinger, and North Lake).  She returned to work outside the home at the New London Press Star as a copy editor and dark room technician.  Later, she became an LPN at Moraine Park Technical College (1989) and continued her compassionate care with elderly patients.  Throughout her life, she was active in her parishes and communities serving in volunteer leadership roles on Catholic school boards, parish councils, Christian Mothers, and the national women's club.  She volunteered with the Girl Scouts and was treasurer for local chapters of the American Cancer Society, Arthritis Foundation, March of Dimes, American Field Service, and public-school drives.  She committed her energies to the service of others.   She was an active gardener, enjoyed crochet, cross stitch, playing bridge, book club, investment club, and edited two genealogy books written by Robert.  During retirement, she and Robert traveled in the USA visiting many close and distant relatives as part of family history research.
