Lucinda “Cindy” L. Rademacher
November 10, 1949 – June 27, 2028
Cindy passed away 12:02 a.m. at Ray and Kay Hospice Care Center in Paducah, Kentucky.
She was born to Earl Edward Malueg of Seymour, Wisconsin, and Rosemary Fahrenkrug of Nichols, Wisconsin. She was later adopted by Blaine A Miller of Marion, Wisconsin, after her mother remarried.
Cindy graduated from Marion High School. After graduation, she moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, where she attended cosmetology school for a period of time. She later took a job at Marcel’s, on College Avenue, a well-established family restaurant where she met her husband, Henry Marcel Rademacher. They married in 1970 and were together until Henry died in 2014.
After meeting Hank and helping him manage a second Marcel’s restaurant, located on the corner of Appleton Street and Wisconsin Avenue for several years, they moved to Waupaca County and purchased a small farmette just outside Iola, Wisconsin, in 1978 to raise their three children. In 2012 they sold their place in the country, bought an RV, and traveled south to visit members of their families and enjoy retirement. They returned to Iola in 2013 and bought a home in town. Cindy moved to Paducah in 2017.
Cindy enjoyed people and liked being in sales.
She worked in restaurants, office furniture stores, newspapers, and publishing businesses. While living in Iola, she worked for 33 years at three national magazine publishing firms in sales and graphic design of numismatics and other collectibles before retiring in 2012. Her hobbies through the years included architectural design and remodeling, cooking, painting landscapes and seascapes, gardening, bowling, and playing pool in a women’s league.
Cindy is survived by a daughter Laura (Stephen) Frederiksen of Stevens Point, Wisconsin; a step-son Todd Marcel (Terese) Rademacher, Hanahan, South Carolina; a step-daughter Tammy Wellman, Ladson, SC preceded her death in 2023; her brother Douglas (Kay) Miller, Paducah; a step-sister LaVerne (Kurt) Miller-Betow; a half-brother Timothy Malueg (Darla), Madison, Alabama; and a sister-in-law Mary Kay Zanto, Appleton. Cindy is also survived by three grandchildren, Sarah and Caleb Frederiksen, Stevens Point, Skyler Wellman, Ladson, along with nieces and nephews.
A private gathering to celebrate her life will be held at the home of Douglas and Kay Miller in Paducah and she will be laid to rest next to her husband at the Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery at King, Wisconsin.
