Carol M. Scheuers

Carol Mae Scheuers (nee Skowlund), 89, of Marytown and Madison, died peacefully in her sleep at home on November 13, 2023, after a day surrounded in love filled visits with her extended family. She became ill with symptoms related to second-degree AV heart block on Friday and died on Monday. Carol was born and spent her early years in Peshtigo until as a youngster her family moved to Fond du Lac. She graduated from Goodrich High School, was united in marriage to Carl Edward Scheuers on April 12, 1952 and started raising her children. She lived in Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Pipe, and Marytown, spending her final years in Madison. Before she began working outside the home, she would bake several batches of bread every week and tended a big garden from which she preserved food as part of caring for her large family. The mindset that family takes care of each other drove her actions throughout her life and to the end. She began working outside the home in the early 1960s doing factory work for several decades. Shortly after retiring from Tecumseh Products in New Holstein in the late 1990s, she began part-time seasonal work at the WI Dept. of Revenue helping to open the millions of paper income tax returns. She and her husband also volunteered for many years with the food pantry distribution center in Plover and then locally in Kiel. Later in life she enjoyed watching old movies, which of course were brand new the first time she saw them, documentaries, and BBC mysteries. She worked at crossing things off her bucket list, such as wiggling her toes in the Pacific Ocean, and in August completing a long motorcycle ride. She always loved long rides and after she decided it was time to stop driving, one of the best things anyone could offer was a ride with a stop for a Culver’s flavor-of-the-day ice cream cone. She continued to be stubbornly strong and generous to the end of her life. Though not a member of any church she was sure of her salvation in Jesus, and she was not afraid of dying. She often spoke of “going home” and now she is. Carol is survived by her children Beverly Scheuers of Madison, Anna Scheuers of Madison, Edward (Darlene) Scheuers of Liverpool, TX, Gail ScheuersSobiech of Winneconne, Henry Scheuers of Madison, Iric (Kim) Scheuers of Madison, and Kenneth Scheuers of Madison as well as her grandchildren John, Carl (Jocelyn), Mindy, Norine, Frederick, Rebecca, William, and Xanadu Scheuers; Paul, Joseph (Sarah), and Quincy ScheuersSobiech; Lisa Hoffman, and Vannessa Lee. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren Carley, Zoey, and Samuel Scheuers; Megan and Laura Hoffman; Luke and Laykin ScheuersSobiech; Jason Krielkamp, Ronald DeCremer IV, and Oceanna Baker. Further surviving her are her sisters Mary Ann (Pat) McAuly, and Bonnie (Greg) Michels. Carol is preceded in death by her husband Carl, parents William and Doris (Manthei) Skowlund, sons Joseph Scheuers and Frederick Scheuers, son-in-law Eugene Sobiech, grandsons Samuel Scheuers and Samuel Lee, brothers Robert Skowlund and Ronald Skowlund, and a sister Fae Schwartz. Carol was interred at St. Paul Cemetery in Malone on November 18 in a private family service. Join the family for a Celebration of Carol’s life on Saturday, December 2.
