Claudette M. (Gullickson) Pittl, age 90, of New Holstein, passed away with family at her side on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at the Homestead Care Center in New Holstein.

She was born May 19, 1934, in Neenah to Harold & Josephine (Reynders) Gullickson. Claudette graduated from Neenah High School and received her RN nursing degree from St. Agnes School of Nursing in Fond du Lac.
