It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elaine Nestle, a long-time resident of Wild Rose, Wisconsin, who peacefully passed away on Friday, April 25, 2025. Elaine was born on December 29, 1942, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Donald Traver and Eileen Cooper. She spent her life building a family and creating lasting memories with her loved ones.
Elaine was married to the late Joseph Nestle, with whom she shared many happy years. After his passing, she found love again with her fiancé, Wayne Morgan, who was by her side until the end. She is also survived by her brother, Michael Traver, and his wife, Cynthia, as well as her two sons, Todd Nestle of Florida and Curtis Nestle of Wild Rose, Wisconsin.
Elaine’s family was her greatest joy, and she was blessed with three grandchildren, Tanner Nestle and his wife, Becca, Hannah Nestle, and Wyatt Klick. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Hailey Nestle, who brought immense happiness to her life. Despite being preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Eileen Traver, and her husband, Joseph Nestle, Elaine’s legacy will live on through her loved ones.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor Elaine’s memory and commemorate her life. The Holly Funeral Home of Wild Rose is assisting the family with the arrangements, providing support and guidance during this difficult time. As the community comes together to mourn the loss of this remarkable woman, we remember Elaine’s kindness, love, and generosity, which touched the lives of all who knew her. Her memory will be cherished, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who loved her. Rest in peace, Elaine Nestle. Your love and legacy will never be forgotten.
