Gloria Jean (Bindl) Nolden

Gloria Jean (Bindl) Nolden, beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend was called by the angels while surrounded by family at her home on September 25, 2025 at age 83.  She was born to Frank and Marie (Weiss) Bindl on April 3, 1942 and graduated from Prairie du Sac High School in 1960.

On April 15, 1961, she was married to Melvin Nolden at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Sauk City and they went on to build a beautiful life together on what had been her family home farm. Her many acts of generosity are known only to Jesus because she never drew attention to them.  She loved flowers and had a faith in God that was beyond compare.  She shared both freely with everyone she encountered.  She raised flowers, but her favorite flowers were those seated around the dinner table.  Her family saw her through the loss of her beloved husband, just three short months ago and surrounded her with love and prayer during her final days.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; her parents-in-law Henry & Marina Nolden; brother Fred; in-laws Harold Zander, Pam Bindl, Lori Nolden, David (Deanna) Nolden, Patti Nolden, and Mary Ann Jacobi; grandchildren James Nolden and Faith Endres; great grandchildren Ava and Allie Mahoney.

She is survived by her siblings Rita Zander, Daniel and George (Stephanie); in-laws Marian Bindl, Roger, Don, Victor, Chuck Jacobi and Barb (Gary) Mock; children Donna (Doug) Nelson, Linda (Brian) Krentz, Ken (Tammi) Nolden, Diane (Les) Endres, Gary (Kimberley) Nolden, Chris (Tim) Francke, Nancy (Vladimir) Sisul, Teresa (Brett) Leeser, Joan O’Brion, and Karen (Curt) Bartnick. 

She is also survived by grandchildren Brian (Miranda), Nicole, Kevin (Kia) and Jason; Jessica (Beau), Trisha (Seth), and Cody (Alex); Matt (Peggy); Claire (Will) and Shelbi; Tia (Nate), Melissa (Luke), Brendan (Emily), Grace (Ryan), and Jamie (Mason); Joseph (Michelle), Anna (Matt), and Michael (Sarah); Maria, Francis, Veronica, Ana, Maggie, and Luka; Erik, Evan, Laura, Hayden, Colton, Hudson, Cora, and Sierra; Colin and Emma; Caroline and Lilly.

In addition, she is survived by great grandchildren Eldin, Rosalind, Adalene, Gavin, Cooper, Lucille, Emily, Heather, Julia, Alex, Nessa, Scarlett, Theodore, Brooke, Cooper, Cashlyn, Silas, Sibylla, Eli, Margo, Henry, Diem, and Lukas.
