Also survived by other relatives and countless dear friends. April was born in Frankfurt, Germany on May 8, 1967. She loved all things German. She was a life-long parishioner at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and attended elementary school there. She lived her faith generously serving others. Aprils lifes passion was education. She attended St. Marys Academy, the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and received numerous degrees. She is a published author, mentored teachers and principals and taught at the University Level. She only missed the highest achievement by leaving her dissertation unfinished. It was her 2018 goal. She worked in the Milwaukee Public Schools for 28 years where she tirelessly served the families and children as a teacher, principal and finally a District Administrator. She loved her students and co-workers with all her heart. April was always MPS Proud. Aprils friends were family to her. With them she traveled the world, made crafts and was a gifted painter, enjoyed concerts and musicals, danced to 80s music and took rides in her pink VW Bug. April was happiest in a pool or on the lake. She was a Muppet Fanatic. We know April found the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me. Thursday, August 23, 2018, 9:00-1145 AM.
