(nee Peterson) Kueteman; loving children, Joshua Silas (Brittin) Kueteman, Lacey Lynn (Jacob) DeBolt, Kristi Nicole Kueteman, and Jacob Hans Kueteman; adoring grandchildren, Cail and Feren Kueteman, Noah, Luke, and Benjamin DeBolt, and Conner Pink; sister, Dee Kueteman; brother, Jeff (Jennifer) Kueteman; and numerous nieces and nephews.
