OGLESBY – An area farm family has donated to the IVCC agriculture complex fund. Diane Kreiser recently made a $10,000 donation in memory of her parents Laverne “Bud” and Marjorie Wiesbrock of rural Leonore to the college’s agriculture complex campaign. The campaign is helping fund phase 2 of the ag complex, a classroom and lab facility adjacent to the new storage facility. Mr. Wiesbrock spent his entire adult life farming in the Leonore-Lostant area. As a teenager, he founded Wiesbrock Trucking, a company still in business today after 84 years. Marge Wiesbrock was a secretary/bookkeeper for the trucking company and Wiesbrock farms. Diane Kreiser worked 30 years at IVCC in the business office, retiring in 2020.
“Throughout her tenure, Diane was always a loyal Foundation donor,” IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said. “It is little surprise to me that she would make such a meaningful gift to our ag building campaign and to our students.”
