Ralph A. Lemberger

Ralph A. Lemberger, age 85, of the town of Cato, passed away Friday, December 19, 2025 at his home at the family farm.

Ralph was born November 22, 1940 in the town of Cato on the family farm, son of the late Reiner and Lorraine (Reindl) Lemberger.  Ralph was a dairy farmer, working on the family farm his entire life. He was a farmer at heart from an early age until his illness made it hard to work any longer. He was proud of his animals and the land he took care of, being the 4th generation to manage the farm. 

Ralph is survived by his sisters: Barbara Johnson, Gleason, WI; Donna (Randy) Krippner, Hilbert; and Karen Huske, Reedsville. He is further survived by nieces and nephews.

Ralph was preceded in death by his parents Reiner & Lorraine Lemberger, his step-mother Edna (Reno) Lemberger, and his brothers-in-law: Ken Laack, Francis Johnson, and John Huske. 

The family is deeply grateful to Heartland Hospice - especially Lisa, Mike, Rachel, and Jenny - for their kindness, compassionate care, and tireless dedication.

Cremation has taken place and a Memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, December 30, 2025 at St. Michael the Arch Angel Catholic Church, Whitelaw.  Burial of his remains will take place at the church cemetery following the service.

The family will greet relatives and friends at the church on Tuesday, December 30, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. until the time of the service at 11:00 a.m.
