WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Funeral services will be held this afternoon for Neena Pacholke, the former WAOW TV news anchor and reporter who died last weekend.
Visitation will be held from 1 to 4 PM at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Weston, located near DC Everest Senior High, with a Celebration of Life to follow.
WAOW TV will offer a live stream of the service on its Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the Community Corner Clubhouse in Wausau or the Humane Society of Marathon County.
Pacholke’s family has also arranged for a Celebration of Life to be held in her hometown of Tampa, Florida later this month.
The 27-year-old died by suicide on August 27th. A report from the Daily Mail out of the UK indicates that her fiance, Kyle Haase, may have recently called off their wedding, which was scheduled for mid-October. Wausau Police confirm that they were called to a home Saturday morning for a well-being check, and when they arrived they found her deceased.
According to the Daily Mail, that was a home the couple had recently purchased. Haase has yet to make a public statement since Pachokle’s death.
