Lawrence “Larry” J. Legois, 87, of New Franken, was welcomed into Heaven on Tuesday, July 11, 2023.

He was born to Henry “Ed” and Mary (Cravillion) Legois on September 25, 1935. He served his country in the United States Army in the mid to late ‘50’s.  Larry then married the love of his life Jelaine “Jay” Gauthier at St. Hubert Parish in Sugarbush on October 26, 1957. They were together, almost inseparable, for over 60 years. 

He is survived by their two sons Steve (Angie) Legois and Mike (Dawn) Legois; five grandchildren, Ryan (Crystal) DeBroux, Renee (Jeremy) Zimmermann, Kristin (Ryan) Kuharske, Michael (Amber) DeBroux and Casey Legois; ten great-grandchildren, Marshall, Blake, and Chase DeBroux; Cruz, Waverly, and Finn Zimmermann; Evelyn and Olivia Kuharske; August and Violet DeBroux; brother and sister-in-law Gary (Karen) Legois.

Larry is proceeded in death by the love of his life Jay, parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jule and Ella (Jauquet) Gauthier; brother, Henry “Junior” Legois; one great-granddaughter Annistin Zimmermann. 

He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather and great-grandfather and loyal friend. 

Big Lar lived life to the fullest. You couldn’t go anywhere without finding someone who knew and loved him.  He lived an active life in his younger years: farming, driving truck for Gauthier and Sons Construction, bowling, baseball and traveling with great friends across the U.S.  He stayed just as active in his later years, playing cards with friends, clearing brush in the woods, winning the grand prize from every ticket or scratch off he would buy, making booyah for friends and cooking with his “Jaybird” at home for the people he loved most.  He especially enjoyed running errands for his grandson Ryan’s business but mostly “shooting the breeze” at the shop. Gramps never missed a day calling Ryan to see what all the “crews” were up to. 

He received loving care from Steve and Angie, allowing both he and Jay to remain in their home, spending every moment together right where he wanted to be, next to his Jaybird. 

Larry had a huge presence in all our lives, and we are going to miss him every day. 

Friends may call between 9:00 and 10:45 am on Tuesday, August 1, 2023, at St. Kilian Church, New Franken.  Funeral 11:00 am with Rev.

Cathy L. Jungr, 70, of Sturgeon Bay passed away unexpectedly Saturday, July 15, 2023, at Aurora Bay Care Medical Center in Green Bay.

Surviving family include her husband of 40 years, Jim Jungr; two children, Amy (Sean) Moran of Madison and Jacoby Jungr of Sturgeon Bay; two grandchildren, Jyoti Jungr and Andromeda Moran; brother, Lester (Jaime) Heinz of Menomonee Falls.

Preceding her in death were her parents, Thomas F. Heinz and Bonnie J. (Bratthauer) Heinz of Geneva, IL.

Cathy was born and raised in Geneva, IL, graduating from high school there before graduating in 1976 from Bowling Green University with a degree in accounting. Cathy worked for Owens Illinois and PepsiCo as an auditor while living in Toledo, OH before moving back to Chicago where she earned her CPA and began working in HR for MidCon, a natural gas company. While there, she graduated with an MBA from the University of Chicago in 1982 and was always proud of being a pioneering woman breaking the “glass ceiling”.

In 1981 she met Jim in Chicago and later married him in 1983. Cathy would occasionally joke that she never got a grade of “B” in school until she started dating Jim. Later, Cathy chose to leave her corporate career to be a stay-at-home mom to raise her young children. She made the move to Door County in 1994 and spent several years both raising her children and working as a part time bookkeeper. In 1998, on a chance conversation at a couple’s bowling dinner, Cathy overheard there was a need for a commercial launderer in Door County. Within 17 days, she had opened the doors to a new facility operating a small business venture called, The Linen Press. The company grew, and in 2000, she built a facility in the Sturgeon Bay Industrial Park where it still resides.

Cathy has won two business awards, first in 2009 for her work with people with disabilities for Northeast Wisconsin and then in 2019, when she was recognized with a state award for employing “hard to place” individuals.

She will be lovingly missed by family, friends, her cat Elena, and possibly most by her dog, Kepler.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wisconsin Humane Society - Door County Campus to honor her love of animals and adoption of rescue animals.

A memorial service will be held at 5:45 p.m., Saturday, July 22, 2023, at Huehns Funeral Home. Friends may call on Saturday at Huehns Funeral Home from 4:00 p.m. until the time of service at 5:45 p.m.

Born to Nora and Lloyd Perry of Forestville then Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, Bev graduated from Gibraltar High School in Door County, Wisconsin, and over many subsequent years furthered her education at Dominican and Carthage Colleges and at University of Wisconsin extensions in Racine, Kenosha, and Green Bay.

After moving to and starting to work in Racine, she met William "Bill" Robert Hogan, in 1948, married him in 1950, and with him raised eight children. In 1971 she and Bill purchased and moved to her parents' fruit-farm homestead at Egg Harbor. There, in addition to continuing her principal role as a housewife and mother, she grew primarily cherries and apples with the family. During the non-growing, harvesting, and selling seasons, she was a social worker for Door County.

In the late 1980s, she and Bill traveled by R.V. around the eastern and southeastern United States and bought a home in northwestern Arkansas where they lived for several years. In 1996, Bev and Bill moved back to Wisconsin to be near the bulk of their family, settling in the Fox River Valley, where Bev remained until a recent move to a senior-living facility at Hammond, Wisconsin, near her daughter Cynthia and Cynthia's family.

In her spare time, Bev was largely involved with community, church, and school issues, activities, and events, including service as a member of the Gibraltar school board. A principal community achievement was to be one of the three founders in 1982 in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, of Feed and Clothe My People (FMP), a Door County charitable organization to provide sustenance for local residents in need.

Arbutus “Arby” Roth, 91 of Sturgeon Bay, passed away in the morning hours of July 6, 2023 at the Pine Crest Village in Sturgeon Bay, WI, after celebrating the holiday weekend with family.

Arbutus was born in Shawano County to Lawrence & Louise (Dehn) Blom on September 30, 1931. The Blom family lived in Neenah, WI until Arby was five, then moved to Green Bay, WI where they lived for the rest of her school days. She graduated from West High School in 1949 and worked as a secretary after she graduated.

It was during her time as a secretary at a car dealership in Green Bay that she met her future father-in- law, Andrew Roth, who told his son, Ralph, that there was a nice secretary he should meet. On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1953, Ralph and Arby were married at Trinity Lutheran Church in Green Bay. They stayed in Green Bay until 1957 and then moved to Sturgeon Bay on August 1, 1957.

Arby worked as a high school secretary at Sevastopol School for 15 years and then part time as an On Site Manager at Orchard Valley Apartments for 10 years. Upon Ralph’s retirement, they spent the next 20 winters in Apache Junction, AZ, where they had a community of friends to golf, dance, and play cribbage with, and often hosted family who wanted to escape a Wisconsin winter. In Sturgeon Bay, they were active members of St. Peters Lutheran Church, and also an established pair at brunch group after services with their good friends (and sometimes a lucky grandchild or two). Ralph and Arby celebrated their 60th anniversary with family and friends prior to his death in 2013.

Arby was always sociable and enjoyed being surrounded by family and friends. She enjoyed traveling, recently taking trips with her four daughters around the country. She loved bowling, playing cards, and having coffee with friends. Ralph and Arby were amazing dancers and we were lucky enough to watch them light up a dance floor at family gatherings, including the weddings of several of her grandchildren.  She was an active crafter, always with a new project for her grandchildren when they were young, and stamping cards with her daughters to sell at the local farmer’s markets until her passing.

Arby is survived by her four daughters. Charlene (Michael) Brauer, Sturgeon Bay, Debra (Dale) Kinney, Rhinelander, Candace (Carla) Roth, VanDyne, Cheryl (Randal) Wilke, Sturgeon Bay. She will also be missed by her brother Lee (Karen) Blom, and sisters-in-law Shirley Blom, Grace Blom, and Bev Blom, 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and cousins.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents Lawrence and Louise Blom, in-laws Andrew and Edna Roth, brothers Roger, Wally, and Larry and great-granddaughter, Elsie.

Funeral services will be 11:00 am Tuesday, July 11, 2023, at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church with the Rev. Joel Sauer officiating.  Burial will be in Bayside Cemetery.  Friends may call at the Forbes Funeral Home on Monday, July 10, from 4:00 – 7:00 pm and at the church on Tuesday from 10:00 am until the time of service.

Jason Yedica, 41, Casco, passed away Friday, June 30, 2023, after a long battle with cancer.   He was born June 1, 1982, in Sturgeon Bay to Steve and Laurel Yedica.
Jason graduated from the Sturgeon Bay High School in 2001 and in 2004 he graduated from NWTC in the auto body program.
Jason married the love and high school sweetheart of his life, Melissa Moreaux on June 12, 2004 at Holy Name of Mary Church in Maplewood.  
Jason's career had him working at various car dealerships in the Green Bay area, but his favorite place to work was at Algoma Motors.  Jason took much pride in the work that he did and it reflected in his own cars and toys.  To call him picky or particular would be an understatement.  
Jason always enjoyed working on projects, especially his 1983 Buick Regal and his 1970's trail Honda mini bike, which he completely restored both of them.  He has many toys and always customized everything he owned to what he wanted.
Jason was an amazing father and husband.
His greatest joy was the birth of his son, James Martin Yedica.  Jason and James spent many days in the shop together working on RC cars, playing video games, cruising in the car, riding ATV's and snowmobiling together.  Jason always called James his little buddy or his best friend.  Just recently, Jason had an idea for a car that had been given to James.  It looks like an 80's Nascar.  This project came on quickly with the help from Dave DeGrave   (Jason's brother from another mother) and Woody Wodack.  Both of these guys made his vision come true and he was able to teach his son to drive.
Jason enjoyed camping, riding UTV's and ATV's, snowmobiling, RC cars, spending time with friends and family.  He always loved a good burnout with his car or a friend's car.
Survivors include his wife Melissa, son James, parents Steve and Laurel Yedica, in-laws Dan and Sue Moreaux, sister Lindsey (Kyle) Coehoorn, brother-in-law Dan (Amber) Moreaux, many nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his brother Todd, maternal and paternal grandparents.
Visitation for Jason will be held Wednesday, July 5, 2023, at the Schinderle Funeral Home, Algoma, from 11:00 am until the time of services at 3:00 PM with Rev. Phillips Sweet officiating.
The family wants to give a special thank you to family and friend's, Unity Hospice and Algoma Motors for all the care and kindness given to Jason and his family.
"Jason would say, if you learned anything from our family is to "Live Life to the Fullest and Always Throttle Down".
As per Jason's request, he wants everyone to dress casually.
