Arianna N. Wenzlick

Arianna Natalie Wenzlick, age 10, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 at her home.

Arianna was born on January 19, 2015 in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and from the minute she came into this world she made an impact on those around her. Arianna had a vibrant and energetic personality and loved to run and play. She had a smile that lit up the room. She enjoyed being outside on the family farm playing with her friends, family and animals. Arianna had a special connection to all types of animals and loved her many pets on the farm. She had a calming effect on her pets and was good at making her pets feel safe and loved.  Some of her favorite things were horses, Lilo and Stitch (Stitch was her favorite), and Moana. She was also a huge Taylor Swift fan. Arianna had a strength beyond her years. She battled her illness hard to the very last minute and kept a positive attitude even when she had reason to be down. She was selfless, and always concerned for the needs of others rather than her own. Arianna’s example of strength, courage and fortitude will carry on through the countless lives she touched. She was deeply loved and she will be dearly missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

She is survived by: her loving parents, Richard and Samantha Wenzlick of Helenville, WI; her dear little brothers, Richard Lee and Jerry John; her grandparents, great-grandma Marian MacDonald, great-grandma Lorna Ksioszk, grandpa and grandma Jeff and Peggy  Duclon, grandma Natalie Steinke, grandpa Steve Morin, great-grandma Lorraine Duclon, great-grandpa Jim Duclon, and great-grandma Linda Olson; and her aunts and uncles, Colleen Wenzlick, Delaney Duclon, Bodie Duclon, Bobbie (Carla) Parkinson, David (Krista) Staudenmaier, Breanna Rolain, and Zachary Rolain, Alex Beaver, and Cody Kuca. She also survived by a number of other relatives and friends.

She is preceded in death by: her grandparents, grandpa Ken Wenzlick, grandma Michelle MacDonald, grandpa, Richard G. Wenzlick, great-grandpa John H. MacDonald, Jr., grandpa Jerry Squires, and cousin Ally Olesinski.
