Ursula G. Gesell, daughter of the late Jakob and Gertrud (Ruhnau) Zierer was born on December 22, 1936 in Straubing, Germany. She worked in her family's barber/beauty shop where she met the love of her life, Joseph R. Gorshe. They were united in holy matrimony on March 12, 1956. Due to Joe's career in the U.S. Army, they were relocated nearly twenty times around the world. After his retirement, they bought a home in Wausau, Wisconsin where they lived and raised their three children. He preceded her in death on October 7, 1989.

In her adult life, Ursula was a homemaker, daycare provider and assisted with home and hospice care for the elderly in the Wausau area. She truly had one of the most kind and loving hearts, willing to help anyone in need.

Later in life, a chance encounter brought love into Ursula's life again when she met John "Al" Gesell. They were married on September 24, 1995. They loved spending their time together up-north in Tomahawk, Wisconsin or down in Panama City Beach, Florida. He preceded her in death on January 18, 2007.

Ursula's garden was her absolute pride and joy. Every Spring, she would look forward to seeing her perennials sprout while also thinking of different arrangements or different annuals to add to its beauty. She spent many hours in her yard, finding peace and serenity.

Ursula died peacefully in her sleep on Friday, November 18, 2022 at North Central Health Care Center. She was also preceded in death by brother Joachim Zierer, sister Gerda Schneider and grandchildren Thomas and Angela Gorshe.

She will be dearly missed by children: Werner Gorshe, Patty (Gary) Duffrin, Steven (Sharon) Gorshe; grandchildren: Joseph Gorshe, Kelsey (Chad) Baumgardt, Ashlee Gorshe, Emilee Gorshe, and Danen Hemmersbach (James Larson); and great-grandchildren: Parker and Peyton Baumgardt, Berkleigh and Braxton Larson.

Her beautiful life will be celebrated on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at Our Savior's Church, located at 804 Jackson St, Mosinee, Wisconsin with visitation starting at 10 am, with service at 11 am. Fr. Marion Talaga will officiate.

The family would like to thank staff on the 2nd floor Rehab unit at North Central Health Care for their excellent and compassionate care of Ursula in her final days.
