THE WILBY ALMA MATER

When we but hear the name of Wilby

We will rise and pledge anew

The measure of of all our heart's devotion

To her we will still be true

We cannot refuse her when she calls us

To work or play or sing

We'll do our best what ever befalls us

And honor to Wilby bring

Then raise your voice for Wilby

Let her name and her fame be known

For her we stand and now each hand

For her shall be proudly shown

"Fair Play" is still our motto

to "May the best man win the game"

And so we're proud to shout aloud the Wilby name

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sadly, the Volmar’s have lost the matriarch of our family, our Mom passed away.

Elizabeth Margaret Kohlstrunk Volmar, age 104, of Prospect passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at Vitas St. Mary’s Hospital. Elizabeth was the loving wife of the late Frederick Volmar. She was born February 27, 1916 in Waterbury, a daughter of the late Max and Helen (Hagen) Kohlstrunk.

Elizabeth graduated from Wilby High School class of 1934. She was the cornerstone and matriarch of the Prospect Volmar family since the death of her husband, Frederirick A. Volmar in 1967. They moved to their Prospect home in July of 1939 and she and her family celebrated her 80th year her Prospect home last July. She worked as a secretary and later held the post of Secretary to First Selectman, Michael Pugliese, of Prospect. She also worked in Prospect Town Hall’s Assessor’s office for many years. She continued her secretarial career in Prospect with 2 other companies and retired at the age of 65. She was the owner of Volmar’s Picnic Grove, Prospect’s hidden treasure per Mayor Bob Chatfield, until its closure in 2011. Elizabeth treasured time with family, particularly picnics at the Grove and holiday gatherings.


Elizabeth will be dearly missed by her children, William and his wife Joan of Niantic, Elizabeth Osterweis of Prospect, Carolyn Taylor of Prospect and Frederick Jr. of Fla. Elizabeth leaves eight grandchildren William and Michael Volmar, Burton and Laura Osterweis, Heidi Finke, Heather Dahlman, Jennifer McLean and Jeffrey Owens. She was also blessed with fifteen great grandchildren; Andrew, Emily, Paul and Brooke Volmar, Henry, Miles and Eli Osterweis, Lee and Rachel Finke, Chastan, Mysti, Autym and Sierra Dahlman, Donald Mazas and Cody Owens, and two great- great grandchildren Ryder and Abby Finke. She also is survived by several nieces and nephews in the USA and Germany.

Elizabeth is predeceased by her sisters Gertrude Beerbaum and Helen Reihl and brother Herman Kohlstrunk.
🙀 It was an awesome time tonight at Senor Ponchos in Thomaston, for the 2nd Wilby High School Unofficial 1980 Class Reunion. 🤣 It was so much fun catching up on old and new times. 😊 Several people brought their yearbooks, flipping through the pages brought joy as we comment about ourselves, friends and classmates. 🏆 Todd Carusillo was picked as the MOST CHANGED of all the students. Me, I still feel the Class of 1980 members are the some of the most BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE around Waterbury.>br> 🤔 Food for thought next year will be the 40th official Class Reunion. 😳 If this is going to happen, planning better start NOW! 😵.
We are still trying to contact members of the Class of 1980. Please contact us on Facebook, Wilby High School 1980 Graduating Class or any of that sites membership.
Married on December 28, 2017, in Grand Cayman, to Diana Cammisa.
