Evelyn "Brownie" Mae Bublitz was born July 15, 1930, in the Lansing, IA, area, the daughter of Daniel and Ada (Bolsinger) Spores. She attended Lansing schools and on August 23, 1947, she married Merlin Bublitz at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Waukon, IA. Brownie worked for a while as a nurse's aide in area nursing homes and then for over 25 years she worked at Northern Engraving as an inspector.
Brownie was a member of the VFW Women's Auxiliary and belonged to St. Paul's Methodist Church, where she also taught Sunday school. Brownie loved spending time with her family and her dog Kool-Aide; her house was the central headquarters for everyone. Most Sundays, she'd have Sunday lunch and pies made for whoever stopped by. She also enjoyed baking, crocheting, and bowling. She loved flowers, gardening, and bird-watching, especially for the hummingbirds.
She is survived by her three children: Linda (friend Roger Stock) Manning, Roger Bublitz, and Kevin (Sue) Bublitz; five grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; two sisters: Betty Timmerman and Barb Miller; and sister-in-law Mary Lou Bublitz.
Brownie was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Merlin who died in 1994; three sisters: Mildred Weipert, Kate Meyers, and Margaret "Sis" Gauthier; her brother Herman Spores; and son-in-law Patrick Manning.
Honorary casketbearers are Breanna Bublitz, Libby and Abby Manning, Jessie Desselle, and Hope, Makayla, Sabrina, Whitney, and Jordan Manning. Casketbearers are Scott, Glenn, and Brian Manning, Brandon Bublitz, Zach Manning, and Justin Sommer.
