Neoma "Nony" Margaret Kirchoff 95, of Schofield, died Thursday, September 4, 2014 at Cedar Ridge Elder Services in Schofield under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care Hospice Services.
She was born January 27, 1919 in Door County to Vernon and Beatrice (Parrot) Resler, the first of six daughters. Nony was educated in Door County and in Poynette, Wisconsin and graduated from Poynette High School in 1937. She attended St. Agnes School of Nursing in Fond du Lac, graduating in 1940.
