 Kathleen Louise Mudrock, 76, of Sister Bay, passed away late Thursday evening, September 24, 2020 at her home, with her family at her bedside.

     She was born in La Crosse, July 25, 1944, the only child of Bernard and Gertrude (Arneson) Kahrhoff. Kathy attended St. Frederick’s in Cudahy, then continued her education at St. Mary’s Academy in St. Francis, going on to earn her B.S. in Communication and Business from Alverno College in Milwaukee. On September 29, 1962, she was united in marriage to Jerome “Jerry” R. Mudrock at St. Frederick’s Catholic Church in Cudahy. They were blessed with two children, Lynda and Brian. 

     Kathy retired as a VP of Human Resources at HK Systems Engineering in New Berlin where she was employed from 1974 until her retirement in 1999. In 1993, she and Jerry built their dream home in Door County and upon Jerry’s retirement from the Cudahy Fire Department, moved to Sister Bay year-round. 

     She was a member of the Alverno College Alumni, and a member of Stella Maris Parish-Sister Bay site (formerly St. Rosalia Parish in Sister Bay). She loved to watch the wildlife run through her yard. She loved to feed the birds and take care of the deer in the winter. Kathy enjoyed long walks, especially through Peninsula State Park. Her passions were reading and gardening. She was instrumental in launching the present-day Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Library (branch of the Door County Library) and worked there as a page and eventually volunteered. She was a “Steel Magnolia”, small in physical stature, Kathy in business heels, power jewelry, and a tough negotiator on the job, but kind, and fair. Proud of her Irish heritage, and named after the song “I’ll take you home again, Kathleen”, her fiery personality went hand in hand with her natural Auburn colored hair. She encouraged her granddaughters, “grandma’s wildflowers” to walk with their heads held high. 

     Kathy will be missed by her loving and caring husband, Jerry of Sister Bay; her two dear children, daughter, Lynda Pietruszka of Sister Bay and son, Brian (Kathy) Mudrock of Greendale; four precious granddaughters, Breanna (Tyler) Galeazzi, Holly (Neal) Stineman, Emily Pietruszka, and Madeline Pietruszka.

     Due to COVID-19, a private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m., Friday, October 2, 2020 with Father Thomas Farrell as celebrant. The Mass will be livestreamed via the “Casperson Funeral Home & Cremation Services” Facebook page. Those viewing from Facebook are encouraged to “Like” the funeral home Facebook page any time (prior) to the Mass to receive immediate notification of the broadcast.

     Entombment will be in the Holy Sepulcher Cemetery Columbarium in Cudahy.

     A celebration of Kathy’s Life is also being planned for the Milwaukee area, tentatively for July 2021.  

     Memorials may be given in her name for the Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Library (P.O. Box 347, Sister Bay, WI 54234) Library or Alverno College-Advancement (checks payable to Alverno College, P.O. Box 343922, Milwaukee, WI 53234; note Kathy Mudrock Memorial, Class of 1984 in memo).

     “We were privileged to have known and loved Kathy.  She made us all better people by the example she led.  To all of you who have made her life’s journey an adventure, filled with love and happiness, we thank you; our family, friends, coworkers, partners at the Sister Bay library, Unity Hospice, Father Tom, and Becky, and so many others.”

Mary Min (Patzlaff) Kostichka, 78, formerly of Algoma, died Sunday, September 27, 2020 at Sheboygan Senior Community.  She was born August 7, 1942 in Algoma to Erwin and Frances (Shillin) Patzlaff.

She married Douglas Kostichka July 8, 1961.  Mary dedicated her life to her family, staying at home to raise her six children.  She worked part-time at St. Mary School library and Sears Catalog store. 

 Mary attended school to become a beautician.  She helped keep Algoma beautiful by fixing women's hair from her home and later by being a member of Algoma's Tree Committee.

Mary enjoyed playing games, crafting and scrap booking.  She could always be found in her crafting room making the next Christmas gifts for her family.  Mary was involved in multiple card clubs, baby sitting, Homemaker's club and family gatherings.  She was an excellent cook and could always be counted on to feed the family on a moment's notice.

No family event was ever complete without a family picture to capture the moment.  Mary would then take those pictures and put them into a memory book for her family. They would  tease her endlessly for the many misspellings of the captions. Mary was a very selfless person and put everyone else's needs  ahead of her own, frequently at her own expense. 

 Mary is survived by her husband of 59 years, Douglas, daughters Kathy (Bill) Button, Connie Kostichka, sons Steve (Hilary) Kostichka, Mike (Kim) Kostichka, Mark Kostichka(friend Dorothy) and David (Julie) Kostichka; together they welcomed 14 grandchildren: Quinn (Tessa) Button, Brianna Button and Noah Button (fiancee Victoria); Andrew Boehnlein, Christopher Boehnlein and Jonathan Boehnlein; Kyle Kostichka and Matthew Kostichka; Kurt (Julia) Kostichka and Ben (Sarah) Kostichka; Travis (Sydney) Kostichka and Devin (Cassi) Kostichka;  Payton Kostichka and Savannah Kostichka; Great grandchildren Case, Alexandra, Colton, Rylee.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Erwin and Frances, brother Paul (Avalon)Patzlaff, sister Delores (Alvin) Fish, son-in-law Jeff Langenberg, daughter-in-law Jennifer Kostichka, father-in-law and mother-in-law Charlie and Helen Kostichka and brother-in-law John Kostichka. 

 Family and friends are invited to attend a public visitation on Wednesday, September 30, 2020 from 5 PM - 7 PM at the SCHINDERLE FUNERAL HOME, Algoma with a prayer service at 7 PM.  Visitation continues Thursday at St. Mary Catholic Church, Algoma,  from 1 PM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 2 PM with Rev Alvan Amadi officiating.  Burial to follow in St. Mary Cemetery.

With a heavy heart we announce the passing of our Mom, Catherine Ann Peters, 90, New Franken.  Catherine was born July 28, 1930 to the late Nicholas J. and Anna C. (Klister) Brittnacher in a Green Bay hospital.  On October 19, 1954 she married Gerald J. Peters at St. Paul Catholic Church, Wrightstown.  He preceded her in death November 16, 2014.  Catherine was a member of St. Kilian Catholic Church in New Franken.  Mom was the definition of unconditional love.  Her family was her pride and joy.  Gatherings with family and friends made her day,  making sure everyone was taken care of and happy.  She will be remembered for her home cooking and baking.  Her homemade bread was amazing. She loved to play bingo, lottery tickets and sneaking off to the casino every so often for fun.  For her, a good cup of coffee, thrift shopping, a good sale and being the Queen of the remote control were simple pleasures.  Going to the Chapel in Robinsonville was something she enjoyed at an early age.  Her faith in Mary was an inspiration.  Mom loved cheering for the Green Bay Packers.  Win or lose she was a fan.

Catherine is survived by her nine children, Mark and Linda Peters, Raymond and Diane Peters, Ann and Steve Bins, James and Janet Peters, Ronald and Mary Peters, Mary Jo Peters, Kenneth and Annette Peters, Jean and William Brown, Carol and Mitchell Heling; along with 20 grandchildren, Gregory (Brooke) Peters, Andrew (Alicia) Peters, Carrianne (Daniel) Taicher, Laura (Jason) Shimko, Katie Peters, Adam (Holly) Peters, Jason Bins, Amy Bins, Sarah (David) Stajkowski, Scott Peters, Blake Peters, Nate (Theresa) Peters, Jon (Caley) Peters, Kendra Brown, Amanda Brown, Chris (Jessica) Brown, Justin (Jing) Brown, Mallory Heling, JC Heling; seven great grandchildren; four sisters, Charlotte Micksch, Marian Diny, Audrey (Marv) Fox, Rita Brittnacher; one brother, Nicky (Gail) Brittnacher; one brother in law, Norman Peters; two sisters in law, Marian Peters, Marina Peters; numerous nieces and nephews, too many to list but not forgotten.

Catherine was preceded in death by her husband Gerald; her parents, Anna and Nick Brittnacher; her mother in law and father in law, Anna and Joseph Peters; her infant grandson, Joseph “Joey” Peters; one brother, Ralph Brittnacher;  one sister and three brothers in law, Eunice and Norbert Nackers, Thomas Micksch, Robert Diny; two sisters in law, Verona Peters, Dolores Peters.

McMAHON FUNERAL HOME, LUXEMBURG, is assisting the Peters Family.  www.mcmahonfh.com

The family would like to thank Anna’s Place in New Franken, staff, residents and visitors that treated Mom with love and respect.  Also, a special thank you to Unity Hospice, especially Dar.  You were a blessing to us and Mom.

Mom’s kind heart, strength, wisdom and spunk will live on like a legacy of love in all that knew her.  Help us keep Mom’s memory alive by doing something kind for someone else and expect nothing back.  She was an exceptional woman who had an impact on so many. 

The family argument always was “who was Mom’s favorite?” Yet in the end – She made us feel we all were.  We love you Mom and miss you already!

Jan was greeted at the rainbow bridge by her many beloved dogs but especially Foster, Amstel, an Blatz on September 28, 2020. 

Jan was born on April 25, 1955, Jan was the only child of Priscilla (Carmody) and Lester Meyer in Sturgeon Bay where Jan lived most of her life.  Jan is survived by her patient, kind saint of a partner, Joe Riederer, her only child Dirk Resler, his wife Rachel Resler and precious grandchildren Kolby and Madelyn, special cousin Kevin Carmody and sons Sean and Danny, Joe’s children: Jeremy and Jennifer Riederer, and many lifelong friends and dog friends.

Jan worked in both clinical and hospital settings for 45 years as a medical technologist in Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay and Savannah, Georgia.  Recently she enjoyed grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years.

Introduced at a very early age to the world of both show and field Golden Retrievers by her breeder father, Lester, he sparked her lifelong interest in the competitive dog community traveling far and wide within the United States and Canada handling her beloved Wirehaired Pointing Griffons Amstel, Budel, Blatz and Hamms to both show and field titles among many other performance titles.   Nobody racked up more miles on their vehicles than Jan.  Jan won the 2013 American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Association’s National Specialty with her first Griffon, Amstel, and on multiple occasions competed at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York as well as the American Kennel Club’s National Championship in Orlando, FL.

She was a most beloved friend of both the dog show and hunt testing communities bringing her great spirit of competition and fun-loving ways to those venues.  A fierce competitor, Jan always won and lost with grace.  At a dog show she was a striking character with her short, spiky hair, her long-legged stride and the bright pantsuits that were her signature.  In the field as either competitor or AKC judge, she rocked blaze orange and her camouflage onesie.

Like her dogs, Jan never met a stranger.  Whatever their walk of life, whether it was a local friend or a celebrity in New York City, her talkative, endearing manner quickly made people feel at ease and they now had a friend for life.  She was the life of the party bringing fun to any social situation where she made all people feel at ease and accepted.

Jan worked to establish various programs in her communities that supported youth involvement.  She was very dedicated to the sailing communities of Sturgeon Bay and especially Savannah, GA where she helped to establish and grow high school sailing as a competitive sport.  On her feet she frequently wore either Sperry’s or duck shoes.  She served on the board of directors for the Door County Rod and Gun Club spearheading, with others, the Door County Youth Trap League.  She was an active member and served on the board of directors and various committees of the American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Association.

Friends may call at the Forbes Funeral Home on Friday, Oct. 2, from 4:00 – 7:30 pm.  Private family services will be conducted by Rev. Cory Dahl.  Memorials may be directed to the Door County Youth Trap League at the Gardner Rifle Club (2389 S. Stevenson Pier Rd. Brussels, WI 54204) or the Sail Training Foundation https://www.sailtrainingfoundation.com/about-us/history-of-sail-training-foundation/

Marianne Martinson Bennett passed away peacefully on September 13, 2020 at Tender Reflections
Memory Care in DeForest, Wisconsin.  She was born Marianne Louise Martinson on February 21, 1943 to Eunice (Christopherson) Martinson and Ivar Martinson in Winnetka, Illinois.  Her childhood was spent in Winnetka and Evanston, Illinois, where she graduated from New Trier High School in 1961.  While working in the Chicago area in 1963, she met Charles Bennett.  The two were married in 1965, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia where they had two sons, Joseph John (1968) and James Charles (1969).  The family moved from Atlanta to Dallas, Texas, then to Washington, DC with Charles’ job as an Associated Press Photographer.  In 1978, Marianne moved with her two sons to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, where her mother, Eunice, helped her to raise her sons on the family homestead near Potawatomi State Park.

In 1981, Marianne enrolled at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay (UWGB) with the goal of
completing her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development to begin a career in teaching.  In
1983, she received an educational grant that took her and her two teenage sons to Oslo, Norway for a year as she studied Norwegian children at play.  She graduated from UWGB in 1985.  After one year of teaching, she realized her true talents were in yacht sales. Starting her career at Sturgeon Bay Yacht Harbor, she successfully sold for more than a decade. Yacht sales took her to Washington, where she was able to spend time with her brother John Martinson and his family, then on to the sunny coast of Florida.  Never content with letting moss grow under her feet, Marianne qualified as a flight attendant in her 50s and flew with Northwest Airlines until her retirement from traditional jobs. She would continue her job adventures as a boutique manager in New York City, water filter sales rep and finally a concierge sales rep at Marshall Field’s exclusive 28 Shop in Chicago.

Marianne was a risk taker and an adventurer.  She kept very active most of her adult life.  The things she enjoyed most in life were travel, golf, tennis, sailing, skiing, and swimming.  Her travels took her to Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Switzerland, Taiwan, Morocco, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, and Ireland. 
Marianne would also want to be remembered for her dedication to her animal friends. Starting with her Yorkie, Charlie, she cared for Kitty, Mena, Tiki, Darlin, Sadie and Tinker Bell.

Marianne is survived by her two sons, Joseph (Joe) and James (Jaimie); daughters-in-law, Ann and Binh, and three grandchildren Kjerstin Lily (2001), Kai Joseph (2004), and Josephine Olivia Ly (2009).

date. Forbes Funeral Home & Cremations is in charge of arrangements. On-line condolences may be offered at forbesfuneralhome.com

Judy LaVine, 77, Sturgeon Bay passed away at her home on September 13, 2020,
with her family at her side. She was born October 14, 1942, to Harry and Helen
Kaye. Judy grew up in Little Sturgeon on the family farm with her siblings Kenneth
and Edward (Bud) Kaye. At an early age, Judy appreciated the fine arts and
performed dance, tap, baton twirling, cheerleading and played the accordion.
She was an original ”Golden Girl” for the Green Bay Packers and was part of the
Golden Girls induction into the Packer Hall of Fame. After graduating from
Brussels High School, Judy moved to Milwaukee where she was an administrative
assistant for Saab Corporation. In 1961, she married Thomas LaVine and they
started their married life in Milwaukee. Putting her dreams of traveling the world
on hold, Judy began one of her biggest adventures in 1963, by becoming a Mom.
The next big adventure was in 1966 when she and Tom packed up and moved
back to Sturgeon Bay to open LaVine’s Liquor store on the east side of town. The
business grew to include The Wine Cellar and Door County Ice. Judy was an
integral part of the business, running the store, bookkeeping and even packaging
ice products. In addition to being a full time Mom, she juggled all the needs of
the business as well. Judy also worked at Bay Shore Inn and for many years at The
Rushes. Her enduring strength made all these things possible.

Travelling was still in her blood and as the children were growing up there were
trips to Mackinac Island, Florida, the SW region of the U.S. and Mexico. Once the
children were raised, there were many spectacular trips including a week-long
rafting trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, trips to Belgium,
France, Ireland, Austria, Vancouver British Columbia, Florida, New Orleans,
Portland, Oregon, numerous motorcycle trips….and many trips to Hawaii. The
most memorable trip to Hawaii was the family vacation to celebrate their 45th

wedding anniversary. Watching the grandchildren experience the ocean for the
first time was one of the highlights of her life.

Judy volunteered her time to many organizations throughout her life, most
notably Learning in Retirement, Crossroads at Big Creek, the Hospital Auxiliary
and of course any school or sporting events that her children were involved in.
Family meant everything to Judy and it showed in everything she did; she felt her
children and her grandchildren were her greatest accomplishment.

In addition to her husband Tom of 59 years, Judy is survived by her children,
Jackie (Mark) Stiyer, Gina (Bill) Hastings, Tim (Stephanie Schlicht), Todd as well as
her grandchildren Rachel, Darienne and Elijah. She was preceded in death by her
parents; and two brothers.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family
requests that you make a donation to a charity of your choice, or better yet
donate your time to a worthy cause. Forbes Funeral Home is in charge of
arrangements and on-line condolences may be offered at forbesfuneralhome.

Aubree was born on May 9, 2017 to her parents Casey and Shayna Groessl. Born with a severe congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), Aubree faced her medical challenges with resilience, bravery, and strength that inspired all who knew of her story. Her strength and determination made her our rock, leading us through this journey. Though she faced a myriad of challenges in her three years of life, she was always so happy and full of life, never letting her diagnosis define her. Her love for people, animals, playing outside, four-wheeler rides and swimming were a few things that made her beautiful smile shine. She lived life as full as she could, boundaries and limitations were not in her vocabulary. She taught those who cared for her the art of negotiation, finding ways to have mac 'n' cheese for breakfast, or getting a quick drink of water or juice despite being NPO. Her smile was sweet and sassy. It was one that made the sun rise (long before we were ready to get up) in the morning and the moon shine (long after we were ready to go to bed) at night. 

Though Aubree’s life here was brief, it was full. She touched so many who crossed paths with her and was so deeply loved. Though her journey wasn’t easy, Aubree made history during her final admission in the hospital, having life-saving procedures done that have not been performed before. We have found comfort knowing it was Aubree’s turn to give back to her heart community. If what was learned medically through her journey could save another child, another family going through those unknowns, it has made our journey with Aubree worth it. Her memory will continue to live on through her family, friends and all those who cared for her.

Aubree is survived by her parents, Casey and Shayna Groessl (Algoma), maternal grandparents Eric (Papa) and Melissa (Bamma) Zellner (Algoma), paternal grandparents Mitch and Joan Groessl (Algoma), Aunt and Best Friend Breanna Zellner (Algoma), Uncle and Aunt Rory and Sarah Groessl (Algoma), Uncle Quinn Groessl (Algoma), Cousins Kalynn, Lauren, and Levi Groessl (Algoma) along with many extended family and close friends who also loved her dearly.

Family and friends may gather at the Algoma High School Auxiliary Gym on Friday, September 18, 2020 from 3:00 PM until the time of services at 8:00 PM with Rev. Alvan Amadi.   Burial will take place Saturday, September 19 at 10:00 AM at the Evergreen Cemetery, Algoma.

A special Thank You to her many doctors, nurses and therapists over the past three years and to those who serve Children’s Wisconsin West 3 CICU that gave her a second chance at life, never giving up on her, or our family. We are extremely grateful to our community, especially our Algoma Fire Department Family, for the outpouring of love and support for Aubree and our family.

Susan “Sue” M. Jadin, 72, New Franken, died suddenly Saturday afternoon, September 5, 2020 at her home. 

She was born in the Town of Casco on February 18, 1948 to the late Peter M. and Frances A. (Blahnik) Lauscher. 

She was raised on the family homestead until Francis “Fran” A. Jadin swept her off her feet and they were married on June 10, 1967 at Holy Trinity Church, Casco. 

They moved to New Franken, started their family, and built a home where many family traditions took root and many great memories were made.  Sue was a devoted wife, mother, and friend.  Always putting the needs of her family before hers, every holiday was magical, all needs were met, and all were loved with all her heart.

Early on, Sue and Fran engaged the family in many family activities from fishing to snowmobiling, but boating emerged as the activity in which they spent the majority of their summers. Many trips were taken on the Great Lakes and into Canada.  As a member of the Green Bay Boating Club and the Green Bay Yacht Club, many friends were made through-out the boating community.

Sue and Fran were fortunate to enjoy a long and relaxing retirement, after raising a family, it was now their time to enjoy life together. They took many trips to exciting destinations, made many new friends, and developed new hobbies. Once the opportunity arose, Sue was able to purse the hobby she always dreamed about.  She learned how to quilt.  She joined several quilting groups including The Thimbleberries and Heart and Friends. She passionately learned new quilting techniques with the community at The Silver Thimble.  Her pride in her work and talent could always be seen in the finished product.

During her life, she shared her talents for the betterment of her community. When the girls were young, Sue rallied the moms in the neighborhood to start the local 4H Club, The Champion Sparkplugs, and served as a youth instructor of knitting, crocheting, and cooking.  She spent many years promoting safe boating as a WI DNR Basic Boating instructor. She also used her talents to sew quilts and knit hats, scarves, and mittens for those who needed a little extra comfort in their lives. Proudly, she served at her local voting poll to promote “our right to vote”. 

Faith was a very important part of Sue’s life and it guided her throughout her entire life.  She was a member of St. Joseph Church, Champion and she spent many hours of prayer and reflection at her “special place” Our Lady of Good Help Chapel, Robinsonville. She shared her devotion with the community as she served as a Member of the St Joseph’s Parish council, Trustee, and as a member of the Seven Apostolate Sisters.  She enthusiastically helped others as she served funeral luncheons, created prayer shawls, and worked with the St. Joseph’s Quilters.

She was an extremely humble woman, In her quiet time, Sue enjoyed ending the day by having a cocktail with Fran on the patio, enjoying the nature in her back yard, reading a good book, or stitching a project.  She also enjoyed getting together with family and friends for dinner, stopping by the club to socialize, or hosting a Packer party.

Most importantly, family made the top of Sue’s list!

Survivors include her husband of 53 years, 2 months and 25 days, Francis, three daughters, Teri (Shawn) Postell, Wrightstown; Karen (Mark) Wells, Kris Jadin, all of Green Bay; one granddaughter, Hattie (Cooper ) Green; special four-legged family members include, Opie, Frank and Journey; two sisters, Rosemary Wegner, Denmark; Marion Wery, Sturgeon Bay; two sisters in-law and one brother in law, Edith Lauscher, Town of Casco; Shirly and Noris Jadin, New Franken; many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Frances Lauscher, her infant sister Josephine Lauscher: two brothers, Peter Jr., and Paul; two brothers in-law and one sister in law, Kenneth Wery, Arnold and (Doris “Peggy”) Jadin.  Her father in law and mother in law, Albert and Libbie (Mercier) Jadin and one grandson, Mark Wells Jr.

Pauline Lueders died on August 28th, 2020 at Bethany Home in Waupaca, Wisconsin. Pauline Louise Poehler was born on May 3, 1927 to Frederick and Elda Poehler.  She was born and raised in the township of Sevastopol on an 80 acre farm 7 miles north of Sturgeon Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. At age 5 she started first grade, attending Sevastopol Consolidated Grade and High School for 12 years. 

After the War ended in 1945, Pauline enrolled at UW-Madison along with her brother Henry.  She enrolled in the school of Home Economics, graduating in 1948.  Pauline also studied at the Lutheran Bible Institute in Minneapolis, MN. Those Institute studies served her well in her active church life.

Pauline worked professionally as a home economist during the 1950s and 1960s for University of Wisconsin Extension.  In her professional life in Buffalo and Trempealeau Counties, she worked with women and 4-H families.  She continued her 4-H work after marriage too. While in India she started a 4-H club for missionary children. She coordinated projects where she taught cooking, sewing and public speaking. After returning to the US, she was a project leader in Phillips, Wisconsin for cooking and sewing.  She was an active 4-H leader for a group in Waupaca that her children were involved in.

Pauline travelled as a young woman when in 1961 she did a world tour to Europe, Asia and Africa when jet travel was a new thing.  Being a world traveler and college graduate, she was a progressive woman for the time. There weren't many women doing those things back then. She met her future family while visiting her college friend, Marian Billings Lueders, in India. Later in life she enjoyed travel to visit family in England, Norway, Colorado, California and places all over the Midwest.

Her friend Marian died in Rajamundry, India in 1964 where Fred and Marian served as missionaries.  Pauline married Fredrick Lueders in 1965 in Door County, and bravely acquired an instant family with four young children: David, Ellen, Cheryl, and Corrine.  Shortly after, Pauline and Fredrick returned to India as missionaries, where Fredrick was called to serve the Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern India in rural development, assisting outcaste farm people until 1969. In addition, Pauline and Fred have three children: Carl, John and Elizabeth. 

After returning from India, Pauline and Fred moved to Phillips, Wisconsin where Fred served St. John's Lutheran Church. They came to Waupaca in 1976 where Fred served Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church for 14 years.  Pauline supported her husband’s work during these years, as well as using her experience and talents to serve the church in many other ways.  She served as leader of various church groups during her many years in Waupaca and as a participant in many other bible studies, women's church circles, and church choir. She was also active in the Waupaca Women’s Club.

Pauline had so many interests and enjoyed a rich fulfilling life.  She played piano and organ earlier in her life and had her own organ that she continued to play at home for many years. She encouraged and required all her children to take lessons and be active in music.  Pauline loved to travel to see friends and family.  She enjoyed watching Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers football games.  Pauline loved flower and vegetable gardening. She continued that love up until the spring of 2020. She enjoyed having sales of her perennial plants from her Waupaca home. She traded plants with family and friends. Pauline was an avid reader - of many kinds of books - novels, biographies, history. She loved writing cards and letters to family and friends – a real treat to all receiving hand-written notes in this digital age. Pauline was an avid bridge player and played with a group of friends until the pandemic put a stop to that favorite activity.  She liked card games of all kinds. Pauline enjoyed sewing and made many quilts for Lutheran World Relief right up until the end of her life.

Pauline is survived by her children David Lueders (Debra), Ellen Terwilliger (Steve), Cheryl Habesland (Geir), Corrine Denker (Steve), John Lueders (Kerry), Beth Scharmer (Patrick); as well as many grandchildren, a great granddaughter, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Fredrick, her father, Frederick Poehler II and her mother, Elda (Meyer) Poehler, her brother Henry Poehler III (Betty), her sister Helen Haugen (Glen), her brother Edwin Poehler (Irene), her sister Dorothy Kurlinski (Thaddeus), and her son, Carl who died in infancy.

The family would like to thank Bethany Home and Thedacare Hospice for the kind and excellent care they provided Pauline during a very difficult time. The staff not only took care of Pauline's physical needs but her emotional and spiritual concerns as well.

Holly Funeral Home of Waupaca is serving the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Pauline's honor may be given to: Lutheran World Missions, Bethany of Waupaca, Trinity Lutheran Church of Waupaca or the charity of your choice. An online service will be live-streamed on Wednesday, September 23 and Holly Funeral Home will provide the time and online link when available at www.hollyfuneralhome.com. In person services may be held at a later date, when it is safe to do so.

Jane Kuhn was born on April 8, 1930, in Mishawaka, Indiana, the daughter of J. W. and Berniece (Jones) Chandler.  She graduated from Mishawaka High School in 1948, and from Purdue University in 1952 with a degree in Home Economics.  She worked as a County Home Demonstration Agent in Wabash County, Indiana, from 1952 to 1956.  She was married to Bob Kuhn on September 8, 1956 in First Methodist Church of Mishawaka, Indiana.  After their marriage they lived in a co-op apartment at Garrett Biblical Institute in Evanston, Illinois, where Bob was a seminary student.  That year Jane worked as a sales clerk at Marshall Fields in Old Orchard Shopping Center.  They moved to their first parsonage in Eagle, Wisconsin, in 1957.  That was followed by appointments to Tomahawk, Randolph, Prairie du Chien, Brodhead, Augusta, and Algoma, all in Wisconsin.  In Randolph and Prairie du Chien Jane worked in their Public Libraries.

Jane loved to travel, whether it was around Wisconsin, across the country, or across the Atlantic.  She learned to love camping, and fishing, and going on boats, trains or planes to see oceans, or mountains, or other great sights.  She made two trips to Europe with the Algoma Community Band, and five trips to visit Bob’s sister and her family in Norway.  She enjoyed 12 Elderhostel/Road Scholar programs, including one to Yellowstone National Park on her 60th Wedding Anniversary in 2016.

Jane was very active in United Methodist Women, holding district offices in three different districts and state offices as well.  In 1988 she attended a UMW mission seminar in New York City, and in 1993 she helped to plan another seminar in New York.  In 1990 she attended the UMW National Assembly in Washington D.C.  She was District President of the UMW’s Northeast District from 1992 to 1994.

When she lived in Augusta she helped to organize a community improvement organization called Beautify Augusta, and when she moved to Algoma she became Vice President of Community Improvement of Algoma.  She edited its newsletter, the CIofA Observer for several years.  When Algoma’s Main Street Program replaced the CIofA she became secretary of its Design Committee.  She was a volunteer at Algoma’s Visitor Center from 1996 to 2000.  In her local church she edited the church’s newsletter from 2001 to 2007 and was Financial Secretary from 2006 to 2017.

Jane is survived by her husband, Rev. Robert Kuhn, her two sons, Mark (Emma Harron) Kuhn and Alan (Elizabeth Abrahams) Kuhn, and two granddaughters, Kateri and Maria Kuhn.

We want to thank all of the many people who cared for Jane at Bellin Hospital, Algoma Long Term Care Unit and Unity Hospice.

Donald Francis Cochart, 88, of Sheboygan WI died on August 29, 2020 at
Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice in Sheboygan Falls, WI. 
Don was born on September 21, 1931 in the Town of Lincoln.  He is
survived by his loving wife Dorothy (Delebreau) Cochart, and their four
children:  Lee Ann (Roger) Ross, Lynn Malfroid, Lori (Bob) Parker and
Chad (Karen) Cochart.  He is further survived by seven grandchildren;
Douglas (Becky) Ross, Valarie (Bill) Hess, Robert (Amanda) Ross, Deanna
(Eric) Waniger, Kaitlyn (Travis) Inda, Alex Knishka and Sara DeGroot and
ten great-grandchildren:  Erek, Kenny and Lora Ross, Eric, Trista and
Logan Hess, Jack and Laine Ross, Averie and Graysen Inda, Lennea
Knishka as well as special friend of the family Katie Geurts.  Don was
preceded in death by his parents, Alice and John Cochart and son-in-law Rod Malfroid.
After high school, Don pursued his education in the field of electronics attending DeVry in Chicago, IL. 
After graduation he had a very successful career in the television industry beginning at a station in
Duluth, MN.  Seizing an opportunity to return to Wisconsin he was hired to help launch a new television
station in Wausau, WI – WSAU, Channel 7, which later became WSAW.  He enjoyed the engineering
challenges of efficiently running the television station and studio electronics to the point that upon his
retirement he had transitioned from unpacking and setting up the initial studio, to retiring as president
and general manager of WSAW-TV 7.
While his job kept him challenged at work, it was his parents, children and friends along with his love of
travel and the outdoors that truly energized him.  He made numerous trips with family and friends to
various locations around the U.S. and Canada by car, RV, houseboat and even canoe.  He instilled his
love of outdoors in his family through regular camping and fishing trips.
After retirement, his love of the outdoors turned towards his pond.  Don took a piece of property
originally owned by his grandfather, Gideon Cochart, from the remnants of a county gravel pit, to a
flourishing wetland that supports numerous types of wildlife.  Today it is known by his family as “Camp
Cochart.”  They spend many weekends and holidays there camping, fishing, playing and just spending
time with each other…in between a number of projects Don had planned to advance the character and
nature of the area.
Visitation will take place from 9:00-10:45 am on Wednesday, September 2, 2020 at St. Peter’s Catholic
