Louise "Weesie" Borchardt, age 70, passed away on August 13, 2025 at Aspirus Hospice House in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Louise was born on February 25, 1955 in Wausau, Wisconsin to Ervin and Genevieve (Lepak) Wolfe. She had a passion for gardening and loved being outdoors and tending to her flower gardens. Friends and family were important to her and she looked forward to Friday night fish fries and an occasional trip to the casino with them. Louise also enjoyed traveling and spending quality time with her children and grandsons. She was deeply dedicated to her family throughout her life and always put others before herself; Louise was a proud mother, grandmother and loyal friend. She was also a committed employee of Kraft for 27 years before retiring in 2012.

Louise is survived by children Jessica (Jason) Swemke of Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Justin (Khara) Halbesleben of Rib Mountain, Wisconsin as well as her three grandsons who were her greatest joy: Micah Swemke, Kaenon Halbesleben and Kade Halbesleben. She is further survived by siblings Don (Gail) Wolfe, Gary Wolfe, and Sandy Wolfe, all of Wausau, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Louise was preceded in death by infant son Isaac Halbesleben, parents Ervin and Genevieve Wolfe, brother Jack Wolfe and sister Linda Schoepke. She was also preceded in death by Steven Halbesleben, the father of Jessica, Isaac and Justin.

The family would like to thank the staff at Aspirus at Home - Hospice and Aspirus Hospice House for their care, compassion and comfort during her final days.

Louise will forever be remembered for her big heart, infectious laugh and beaming smile.

In lieu of a funeral, a celebration of life event will be held in her honor at a future date. The date and location are yet to be determined.
