Juanita C. Schultz, 95, of Mayville, was wel­comed into God’s king­dom on Jan­u­ary 9, 2024. She was born in Dun­lap, IA, on April 5, 1928, to Beu­lah (McIn­tosh) and Clark Richard­son. Juanita’s fam­ily moved to Mayville in the early 1940s.   After grad­u­at­ing from Mayville High School in 1946, Juanita went on to ap­pren­tice with Lavita (Hugg) MacMil­lian at the Mayville Beauty Shop and ob­tained her cos­me­tol­ogy li­cense. Juanita was bap­tized and con­firmed a week be­fore she mar­ried David N. Schultz on May 22, 1948 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Mayville. To­gether they raised three daugh­ters – Jill, Patti and Jana.    Through­out Juanita’s life, she worked along­side David run­ning their car deal­er­ship, the River­side Apart­ments and de­vel­op­ing Golf View Es­tates. She also worked at the Mayville Li­brary and as a hair­styl­ist at sev­eral local sa­lons.   Juanita was a mem­ber of St. Paul Lutheran Church where she taught Sun­day School, su­per­vised the li­brary, and par­tic­i­pated in sev­eral groups. She helped out with the Girl Scouts, when her chil­dren were small. She was a mem­ber of the Mayville His­tor­i­cal So­ci­ety and Main Street Mayville. When she wasn’t work­ing or vol­un­teer­ing, you would find Juanita read­ing books, work­ing on the fam­ily ge­neal­ogy, play­ing Bridge with her friends, or cheer­ing for the Green Bay Pack­ers.    Juanita, a lov­ing and de­voted mother is sur­vived by her daugh­ters, Patti (Jim) Schegetz and Jana (Steve) Bach­hu­ber; grand­chil­dren, RC (Julie) Schroeder, Brett (Kim) Schroeder, Joe (Shelly) Surita, Schelagh (George) Dehler, Mynda (Terry) Miser, Lisa (Lavel) Rhynes, Kirstyn (Andy) Droese, Teri (Luke) Sali­nas, Cait­lyn (Scott) Hartwig and Jes­sica (Ethan) Hass; fur­ther sur­vived by 24 great-grand­chil­dren and three great-great-grand­chil­dren.

She was a self­less woman whose pass­ing will leave an un­fil­l­able gap in the hearts of her loved ones. Her abil­ity to sac­ri­fice, pro­vide, sup­port, for­give, and love will be for­ever in­grained in all she knew.   A vis­i­ta­tion with the fam­ily was held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 16 S.

   Nancy Baney, 70, of Hustisford, went to her heavenly home on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024, while at UW Hospital in Madison.    Nancy was born the daughter of Calvin and Delores (Stark) Becker on September 2, 1953. She was a 1971 graduate of Hustisford High School.       Nancy was united in marriage to Daniel Baney on September 26, 1987, in Beaver Dam, and they are now reunited in Heaven.   Nancy devoted 46 years to working as a medical records clerk in long term care. Outside of this work, she was also the family caretaker - sharing her big heart and always selflessly caring and providing for others. Family meant everything to Nancy; even in her last days, she was more concerned with the wellbeing of her loved ones than with her own. She was a well-loved member at St. John’s Church in Woodland and allowed the work of our heavenly Father to shine through in her every action.    Nancy had a passion for gardening and baking. She spent her spare time tending to her many flower beds and fulfilling the duties of the family baker. Countless calories she shared - pies, cookies, and her famous tortes! During the holidays, she would make dozens of pies and over 50 dozen cookies! She loved sharing her techniques and recipes with others, including any and all "in the fun and the labor of love" as she always said.   Nancy is survived by her daughter, Abigail (Zachary) Kimmel of Trempealeau and ‘daughter’, Brae (Jerret Parker) Landess and their sons, Liam and Landon of Green Bay; siblings, Bonnie Becker of Mayville, Stuart Becker of Iron Ridge, Karen (Don) Baney of Iron Ridge and Richard Becker of Iron Ridge; siblings-in-law, Kathryn (Gregory) Keup. She is further survived by nieces and nephews, other relatives, and many friends.    Nancy was also preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Daniel; and sister-in-law, Cheri Becker.    A celebration of Nancy’s life will be held on Saturday, January 27 from 1-4 p.m. at the Mayville American Legion Post #69 in Mayville.   Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at UW Hospital for providing Nancy with loving care and comfort. We will always carry Nancy in our hearts, and she will be missed dearly by many. It may be traditional to conclude with ‘rest in peace’ but anyone who knew Nancy knows she isn’t resting up there, so….until we meet again, for a vodka gimlet!    Koepsell Funeral Home in Mayville is serving the family. www.KoepsellFH.com

  Barbara “Barb” Breitkreutz, 81, of Mayville passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, Dec. 25, surrounded by her loving family.   Barb was born the daughter of Earl and Catherine (Leibl) Schmidt Sr. on December 27, 1941, in Beaver Dam.   She was united in marriage to Roger Hartwig Sr. on August 12th, 1960, at Zion Lutheran church in Horicon. Together the couple had four children. After Roger’s passing in 2005, Barb was united in marriage on April 23, 2016, to Dennis Breitkreutz at Christian Life Fellowship.    Barb was a loving wife and mom, elevating the role of housewife to an artform. Despite that being her full-time chosen profession, she always found time to serve the needs of others.    She was a very active member at her church home, Christian Life Fellowship. She served alongside Roger as CLF Youth Group leaders, worked as the church secretary and was a long-time member of the choir, gleefully singing praises to her Lord. She was the president of the Beaver Dam chapter of Women's Aglow Ministries as well. She served as a Brownie troop leader, nurturing the lives of many young girls. Barb also enjoyed her time bowling on the Tuesday morning women's league at Dodge Center; a highly decorated member of the “Wacky Wood Ducks” team. Despite her distaste for bugs, Barb enjoyed golfing, leisurely pontoon rides, long, meandering rides on the back of a Harley. Although she fully participated in family camping trips, it was most definitely not her favorite outdoor activity! Barb was a loving caregiver, holding hands, providing comfort, praying for and with many people in need. She was also a loving and dedicated dog sitter for “her” beloved Oreo. Being sisters and best friends, she and Sonja enjoyed “Crazy Tuesday” every week, going wherever her little red convertible would take them, oftentimes to casinos or to Crivitz for Shaffer’s fried chicken. No matter the destination, the time they shared was their gift to one another. Barb was blessed to share her final years with her loving husband, Dennis.    Barb will be deeply missed by husband Dennis; daughter, Cathy (Scott) Hoffman of West Bend and son, Roger Hartwig Jr. of Mayville.; grandchildren, Joe (Kristina) Dunbar, Ben Dunbar, Katie (James Gates) Hoffman, Jess Hoffman, Stephanie Hartwig and Michael Hartwig; great-granddaughter, Natalia Dunbar; stepchildren, Wendy Breitkreutz, Wayne Breitkreutz and Marty Breitkreutz. Barb is further survived by other beloved relatives and friends.    Barb was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Roger Sr.; daughters, Timi Conley and infant daughter, Shirley Jean Hartwig; sisters, Sonja Hiley and Shirley Mae Pilsner; and brother, Earl Schmidt.   A celebration of Life for Barb will take place on Friday, Jan. 12, at Christian Life Fellowship in Mayville with Pastor Matt Lewandowski officiating.    A visitation for family and friends will take place from 4 p.m. until the time of service at 5 p.m. with coffee, sweet treats, and fellowship to follow.    The family invites you to wear red in loving memory of Barb.

   Elmer Silas Meyer, 95, passed away on Tues­day, Nov. 21, 2023, with his wife at his side at their home in the Town of Her­man.   Elmer was born on July 29, 1928, to Silas and Hed­wig (Brandt) Meyer in Hill­point. He was bap­tized as an in­fant on Au­gust 12, 1928, and was later con­firmed in his faith as a youth on May 10, 1942, both at St. Paull Lutheran Church in Hill­point.

   Bon­nie Jean Kam­rath, 71, of Mayville, passed away peace­fully on Wednes­day, Nov. 22, 2023, with her fam­ily by her side, at St. Agnes Hos­pi­tal in Fond du Lac.   Bon­nie, born July 19, 1952, was the first-born daugh­ter of Palmer and Jane (Panzer) Schultz. She grew up with her four younger sib­lings on a dairy farm out­side of Hus­tis­ford. It in­stilled in her a strong work ethic, un­wa­ver­ing sense of em­pa­thy and com­pas­sion for all peo­ple and an­i­mals, and a strong foun­da­tion in faith, fam­ily, and friends. She was af­fec­tion­ately known as Bon­nie Jean “the beauty queen” or “Sissy” by her par­ents, sib­lings, and friends.   She was united in mar­riage to her beloved hus­band, Lloyd Glenn Kam­rath on Au­gust 18, 1973, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Neosho. To­gether, they would work their own dairy farm, build a fam­ily, es­tab­lish strong roots in the Mayville com­mu­nity, and cel­e­brate nearly 50 years of mar­riage.   Bon­nie was an in­cred­i­bly de­voted wife, mother, grand­mother, and the sweet­est, most lov­ing, and car­ing per­son to cross your path. Bon­nie worked tire­lessly dur­ing her life on this earth to sup­port her hus­band on their fam­ily farm, while cre­at­ing a home filled with struc­ture, re­spon­si­bil­ity, love, laugh­ter, hugs, and kisses for her chil­dren, and grand­chil­dren.   Later in life, Bon­nie would pos­i­tively im­pact count­less lives as an early child­hood teacher at the Punkin Patch Day­care and as a teacher's aide for the Mayville School Dis­trict. If the weather was nice, you would most likely find Bon­nie on the front porch with her hus­band, Lloyd, lis­ten­ing to her fa­vorite oldies on the radio or Bob Uecker call­ing a Brew­ers game. She en­joyed watch­ing the neigh­bor­hood chil­dren bike up and down Clark Street or her beloved grand­kids play­ing in the front yard.    She will al­ways be re­mem­bered for her love of car­di­nals, polka music, danc­ing, the color pur­ple, singing a Christ­mas tune or hum­ming an oldie but goody, play­ing her ac­cor­dion for her brother and sis­ters, and plan­ning sur­prise par­ties for her par­ents. She showed her love for bak­ing, cook­ing, or mak­ing some fam­ily fa­vorites like choco­late chip bars, cu­cum­ber salad, peanut clus­ters, pizza burg­ers, hot dish, meat­loaf, and mashed pota­toes, a Fri­day night fish fry, a strong whiskey sour old fash­ioned with olives or a brandy and coke. Ac­cord­ing to her sib­lings, she was fa­mously quoted as say­ing “Who­ever drinks the fastest, drinks the mostest." She wore her emo­tions on her sleeves most days, re­li­giously fol­lowed her Wis­con­sin sports teams and her home­town Mayville Car­di­nals. She loved her church and the Lord, was in­volved in the church choir for many years, at­tended hun­dreds of her kids and grand­kids sport­ing events, mu­si­cals, plays, birth­day par­ties, and other events. She loved going out for break­fast with Lloyd to the Back Street Cafe or Diner 67 on week­ends for some crispy bacon, or a good meal and cock­tail at Blanck’s Sup­per Club or the Iron Ridge Inn. She was the life of the party, and a so­cial but­ter­fly to those who would run into our par­ents at the Pub, Roxy’s or the Sher­wood Cafe.    Bon­nie cher­ished her close cir­cle of friends, loved a good game of sheepshead or hearts, and was al­ways there to lis­ten, laugh, give a hug, or pro­vide her kids, fam­ily, friends, or a com­plete stranger with a kind word or act of com­pas­sion and en­cour­age­ment. We will never for­get her big heart, kind spirit, and will­ing­ness to sac­ri­fice any­thing needed to make our lives bet­ter. She al­ways saw the best in peo­ple, dished out com­pli­ments like they were candy to any­one that crossed her path, and will be sorely missed by her fam­ily and friends.   Bon­nie is sur­vived by her four chil­dren, Joel (Chris) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town, Jamey Kam­rath of Mayville, Benji (Melinda) Kam­rath of Wa­ter­town, and Nicole (Adam) Oestre­ich of Mayville; 10 grand­chil­dren, Alexus, Han­nah, Colin, Brae­dyn, Pax­ton, Reece, Olivia, Brevon, Nahla, Sul­ley; her sis­ters, Karen (Alvin) Hilde­brandt, Sharon (Steve) Pat­ter­son, Holly (Mike) Peltier; and brother, Gerry (Agnes) Schultz; as well as other rel­a­tives and friends.   She was pre­ceded in death by her par­ents, Palmer and Jane Schultz and her beloved hus­band, Lloyd Kam­rath.   The vis­i­ta­tion was held at Koepsell Fu­neral Home in Mayville on Wednes­day, Nov. 29, from 4 until 7 p.m. Fu­neral ser­vices for Bon­nie will be held at St John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Mayville on Thurs­day, Nov. 30, at 11 a.m. with Rev. Dr. Mark G. Cut­ler of­fi­ci­at­ing. There will be a brief sec­ond vis­i­ta­tion for Bon­nie at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of ser­vice at 11 a.m. In­ter­ment will fol­low the ser­vice at St. John’s Ceme­tery in Mayville.   In lieu of flow­ers, all do­na­tions will be given to St. John’s Lutheran Church or the Mayville Booster Club.   Koepsell Fu­neral Home in Mayville is car­ing for the fam­ily. www.​Koepsellfh.​com
