Krueger, Karlene Jeanette (15 January 1981 – 25 January 2022)
Karlene Janette Krueger, 41, went to her heavenly home surrounded by family
members and friends on Tuesday, January 25, 2022.
She was born on January 15, 1981, in Neillsville, the daughter of Michael and
Donna (nee Wolfe) Lindow of Chili. On December 27, 2003, she married her best
friend, Scott Louis Krueger at Immanuel Church of Chili. They farmed together in
the Town of Ashford on the Krueger family farm. She was a dedicated mother to
their three children, McKinley, Brooklyn and Johnathon. She encouraged them to
get involved in all areas that would make them a better person. She always had
their backs.
Karlene worked as a customer service representative for Dairyland Seed Company,
Kewaskum. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church of Lomira where
she also taught Sunday School and on occasion sang duets with her daughter,

Karlene was an extraordinary person. She was the strongest supporter of all
things including livestock and kids. She was a friend and Director of the WI
Show Pig Association, a catalyst for positive change and inclusion, and an
expert parliamentarian. She served on numerous livestock boards and was a leader
of the Campbellsport 4-H Club. She was a county fair livestock judge. She was a
member of the Campbellsport FFA Alumni, WI FFA Alumni and the National FFA

judge of National FFA applications. Karlene was THE very first female to earn

in the Smithsonian of American History in Washington DC.
