She was born February 13, 1933 to Paul and Anna (Lang) Tholl in Zweibrucken, Germany.  Having survived Nazi Germany as a child, Ursula eventually worked at a U.S. Military PX near her home where she met Robert Wiehe, a soldier serving in post WWII occupied Germany.  The two were married on November 8, 1952 in Solothurn, Switzerland.

 

After the birth of their first daughter, Marilyn, they were transferred back to the United States to live in Edwardsville, Illinois.  In 1955, Ursula had a son, Kenneth, and in 1971, she had another son, Kurt.  Her family business in Germany was of floral arrangements, landscaping and interior decorating.  She continued these pursuits in America to the benefit of family and friends.  She loved to cook authentic, German food and desserts to bless anyone she could with a meal. Ursula was also a devout Christian having a very special love for her church family, Messianic Jewish ministries and also ministry to orphans in Africa. Ursula devoted her life to the Lord, her husband, and family and friends until her passing.
