George Edward Andrys, Rothschild, passed away on July 19, 2021, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson's. He was born on September 1, 1934, to John and Vicki Andrys. In 1956 he married Frances Luetschwager and they spent the next six decades together making a home and raising a family; they would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on July 28. After graduating from Mosinee High School George started working at Marathon Battery until being drafted into the army and sent to Korea. He continued working at Marathon Battery upon his return to the area until it relocated to Texas. He then became co-owner of Marachrome which he eventually sold. George spent the remainder of his career at 3M. In the summer George could be found in his garden or on the golf course. He was an avid Packer and Badger football fan. He enjoyed woodworking and tinkering around his workshop in the basement. George will always be remembered for his willingness to help others which was exemplified through his 40 plus years of service with the Rothschild-Weston Lions Club. He held many offices at both the club and district levels. You could always find him frying cheese curds in the club's trailer at their fundraisers held throughout each summer. He was instrumental in establishing, organizing, and conducting the Marathon County Lions Eye Bank pre-school eye screening program. In addition, he was a volunteer driver taking corneas harvested at area hospitals to Madison for transplant. George is survived by his wife Frances, daughters Jean (Tom) Muench and Karen (Taylor) Austin, grandsons Taylor (Megan) Austin Jr., Ross (Megan) Austin, and Andy (Allison Perlin) Muench, and great-grandsons Bruce and Arlow Austin. He is also survived by his sisters Sally Schoenfeldt and Susan (Stan) Hoffert and brother-in-law Tom (Sue) Luetschwager, as well as many nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Julie, Bobby, and Nancy. We would like to thank the staff at Cedar Creek Manor for the care they gave George while he was a resident. They treated both him and us like family and we will be ever grateful to them for the love and comfort they gave him in his final years. A memorial gathering will take place on Saturday, July 31, at John J. Buettgen Funeral Home, 918 Grand Avenue, Schofield, with visitation at 9 a.m. and service at 11 a.m. officiated by Rev. Donald Meuret. Burial will follow at Saint Paul Catholic Cemetery in Mosinee. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in his memory to the Lions Eye Bank of Wisconsin or the Wisconsin Lions Camp. Condolences may be expressed at Honorone.com
