Mary Elizabeth “Beth” Schaub, passed away on Monday, July 13, 2020 at Ivy Manor of West Bend at the age of 83 following a long and difficult battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
She was born on February 27, 1937 at her home in the Village of Campbellsport to John and Eva (nee Brown) Pesch. On November 26, 1960, after a whirlwind six-month courtship, Beth married the love of her life, Norman (Butch) Schaub.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Bernadine (Virgil) Scholl and Margaret (Russel) Braun, and her brother Jack (Louisa) Pesch.
Beth was an avid, award-winning quilter and created numerous beautiful works of art that her family will continue to cherish. Her husband Butch brought her into his boat racing community and they quickly embraced her with open arms. Boat racing became a favorite pastime for the entire family and lead to many cherished memories and lifelong friendships from across the country.
