Virginia (Sue) L. Opelt, 87, Greenwood, passed away peacefully at home Feb. 12, 2023, under the care of her family and St. Croix Hospice. A celebration of life will be held 11 a.m., Saturday, April 29, at the family property. Virginia (Sue) Church was born Dec. 3, 1935, in Marshfield, to George and Leah (née Wildish) Church. She grew up on the family farm, and attended Silvercrest Elementary School in Neillsville and Neillsville High School, graduating in 1953. Sue was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart, Donald G. Opelt, on May 22, 1953, in Iowa. Early in their marriage she and Donald worked in Illinois, before purchasing their dairy farm south of Greenwood. Besides becoming a successful farmer, Sue had many other interests including knitting, quilting, birdwatching and gardening. She frequented the Greenwood Public Library and was an avid reader. She enjoyed traveling to Alaska, Canada, Peru, England, Switzerland, Italy, Kenya and Tanzania. Annually, Sue and Donald would take a mix of kids and grandkids on a trip west in their RV camper. Sue loved animals, so there was always a menagerie of dogs, cats, cockatoos, bottle-fed lambs, rabbits, piglets, peacocks, horses, llamas and donkeys in her life. For many years she was a volunteer leader in 4-H and a volunteer tutor at Greenwood Elementary School. She was a member of Clark County Homemakers, Christie Methodist Church and the Methodist Ladies Aide. She loved her large family and until recently hosted all the holiday celebrations and frequent family breakfasts. Sue is survived by her husband, Donald Opelt; and her children, Diane Opelt (Kevin Syth) of Greenwood, Jody Stieglitz (Wes) of Greenwood, Peter Opelt (Jeanne) of Greenwood, Kaye Ewoldt (Brian) of Neillsville, Julie Wetzel (Jerry) of Greenwood, Pat Opelt (Barb) of Greenwood, Joe Opelt (Evelin) of Swamp Scott, Mass., and Kristen Opelt (Brandon Elmer) of Greenwood; 26 grandchildren and step-grandchildren; and 43 great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, George and Leah Church; her brother, Eugene Church; and an infant great-granddaughter. PAID OBITUARY 132623

Kathleen Helen Skora (née Craver), 85, Greenwood, Wis., died Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023. She shared the company of many friends and family just prior to her passing. Born on Wednesday, May 5, 1937, in Chicago, Ill., she was the daughter of the late Frances Helen (Novak) and the late Arthur Wilson Craver. She was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, Adam John Skora, son of the late Peter Skora and the late Mary (Stawarz). Kathleen Helen is survived by 10 children, Ann (David) Schuh, Patrick (Marcela), Joseph (Lourdes), Frances, Jackie, Arthur, Susan (Joel) Richards, William (Kyle), Amelia (Kenneth) LaCasse and David (Brenda); one sister, Marjorie (Robert) Otto; 12 grandchildren, Alexandra, Sabrina (Ian) Plamondon, Nicole (Tomas) Icenogle, Jonathan, Adam, Morgan, Savannah, Kevin, Anjolina, Spencer, Hannah and Daphne; and one great-granddaughter, Lillian. Kathleen Helen was preceded in death by two sons, Stanley and James; and two brothers, Arthur and George. Kathleen enjoyed arts and crafts. She had a talent for drawing and painting, and also knit, crocheted and created ceramic ware. Kathleen baked tasty desserts, especially Christmas cookies, fruitcake and candies. She always cultivated a large garden; partly because of necessity, and partly because she enjoyed it. She enjoyed music by Elvis Presley. Kathleen collected dolls and Elvis memorabilia. Kathleen enjoyed outdoor farm auctions and garage sales. Some of her favorite TV shows included Storage Wars, American Pickers, Toy Hunter, Core Pawn, Hoarders, Worst Tenants and Jessie Ventura. Kathleen held a variety of jobs. She said, “At 12, I had the usual babysitting jobs and then worked (cleaning) at Zwissler Bakery on Saturdays. I was the only one small enough to crawl in the display cases to clean the inside. The owners of the bakery were very nice people of German descent.” Occasionally they would slip in an extra $10 and save some bread and coffee cake for Kathleen’s family. Kathleen also donated some time working for the nuns in the church. In addition to all this, she later worked as a nurse’s aide and at a grocery store/restaurant for truck drivers. Furthermore, Kathleen worked at the Atlantic India Rubber Company (rubber grommet factory) during the Christmas season (two months) doing administrative jobs. When she married Adam, she was working for First Distributors Inc. (discount retailer) as a switchboard operator, but had to quit (corporate policy) because that’s where Adam was working. She then went to work as a switchboard operator at RCA. Additionally, Kathleen had experience in farming and owned and operated her own ice cream parlor/restaurant for about eight years. Furthermore, she summarized TV programs for later radio broadcasts and internet postings. Kathleen’s most important and lasting job was raising her 11 children. A celebration of Kathleen’s life will be held at a later date this year, yet to be determined. PAID OBITUARY 132632

Kathy Much, 75, Greenwood, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2023, at Marshfield Medical Center, surrounded by her family. A funeral is planned for Friday, Feb. 17, 2023, at Green Grove Mennonite Fellowship Center, north of Loyal. Visitation will run from 10-11:30 a.m. and the service will be at 11:30 a.m., with Pastor Geoff Smith officiating. Kathy (Severson) Much grew up north of Loyal, the oldest child of Helen and Lester Severson. She enjoyed life on her parents’ farm and the many adventures she had growing up with her four younger brothers. She graduated from Loyal High School, and it was during high school that she met the love of her life, Richard. They married in 1966, and after a couple of years living in Milwaukee, they returned to the area and bought their own family farm near her parents. Together they had and raised five children. Kathy worked on the farm, as well as working as a nursing assistant at the Clark County Health Care Center, while her children grew up. She also worked for two years at Grassland Dairy in Greenwood and intermittently for the U.S. Census Bureau. After her children were all grown, she enjoyed being an amateur photographer for several years. Kathy’s greatest joy in life was first being a mom, and then being a grandma and great-grandma. Not a day went by when she was not surrounded by family. Throughout life, family was her biggest priority. While they were alive, Kathy spent a great deal of time with her parents and she enjoyed every minute she could with them. She taught us all to never take one another for granted and to always make time for family. Kathy talked in person or on the phone to her children every day. She and her daughter, Kim, started each day with a check-in and a visit. Kathy was happiest with her house full of people, and it was usually a very full house all the days that she was there. Many days her home was a meeting place for coffee or short-order meals for anyone who stopped by. Kathy was always happy to see her family and friends, and she would not miss any celebration in their honor. Her children, grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and friends were always the center of her attention. Walking into her home, anyone would notice the endless photos that tell the story of who she was. Photographs wrapped her in love all day and allowed her to be surrounded in it every minute of her life. Kathy explored many hobbies during her life including an excessive amount of crafts, sewing, quilting, computers, photography, baking and cooking, hunting, fishing and camping, among many more. Another thing Kathy enjoyed was her dogs. She loved them like they were human members of the family, and they are missing her as if they were. She also loved listening to Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash music daily. For the past few years, especially after retiring from farming in 2009, Richard and Kathy enjoyed frequent traveling. They went to Florida often to visit Kathy’s niece and her family, Canada for annual family fishing trips, South Dakota visiting friends and hunting, and all around the state to see family and friends. Another one of her favorite pastimes was shopping, and Kathy was almost always on the hunt to find things she wanted to give to others. She also enjoyed garage saling most of her life, and for the past few years, Dick really enjoyed joining her, so they added thrifting weeks to the list of many adventures they took together. Kathy was reunited in heaven with her mom and dad, Helen and Lester Severson; her two brothers, Bob Severson and Ken Severson; her father-in-law and mother-inlaw, Ervin Much and Jean Much; her sisters-in-law, June Severson, Lisa Severson and Pat Much; and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Tom and Linda Much; as well as her daughter-in-law, Tracy Much; and many more family and friends. She is undoubtedly surrounded in love and probably playing cards at a very full table. Kathy will be dearly missed by so many. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Richard; her children, Kim and Glenn Gostomski of Loyal, Rich Much, Jr. of Owen, Donna Much of Owen, Mike and Heidi Much of Marshfield, Don Much of Owen, and Rod Much and Alyssa Szczech of Loyal. She is further survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Dale and Kathy Severson of Curtiss; her brother, Rick Severson of Barron; her sister-in-law, Joan Severson of Greenwood, her brothers and sistersin- law, Marion and Christa Much of Rhinelander, and Keith and Nancy Hanson of Oneida; her brother-in-law, Jim Much of Milwaukee; as well as 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, Tyler Scheel, Dylan Much and Braquel Gilman and their son Ashtyn, Amanda Much and Luis Castillo, Jasmin Culton and Lane Wilson and their sons Noah and Emmett, Hunter Much and Morgan Buman, Jessica Much and Taylor Ehlers, Misty Much, Riley Much and Sarah Fadden, Logan Much, Brooke Much and Tanner Cliver, Allison Much, Remington Much, and Kenzie Much; and her many, many, other family members and friends.

Daniel J. Coughlin, 82, Willard, passed away in the Palliative Care Unit at Marshfield Medical Center, in Marshfield, on Sunday, Feb. 5, 2023. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023, at Holy Family Catholic Church, Willard. Rev. Stanislaus Michael Antony will officiate, and burial will follow in Holy Family Catholic Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Greg Herrick, Eugene Saule, Nathan Saule, Bob Davel, Mark Shain and Bing Perko. Visitation will be held at the church, on Saturday, from 9:30 a.m., until the time of the service. Daniel James Coughlin was born in Chicago, Ill., on Oct. 23, 1940, to Daniel T. Coughlin and Mildred V. (O’Halloran) Coughlin. He was raised and received his education in the Chicago area, graduating from Oak Park-River Forest High School in 1958, and then attended St. Norbert College in De Pere. Dan later became a meat inspector for the state of Illinois. He also worked for several years as a Sears catalog store manager in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, but eventually went back to meat inspection, this time for the USDA. In 1966, Dan was united in marriage to Judith A. Shapin at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Oak Park, Ill. Their son, Daniel P. Coughlin, was born in Oak Park, Ill., in 1967, and that same year they moved to Genoa, Ill., to be closer to Dan’s work. Their son, Brian T. Coughlin, was born in Dekalb, Ill., in 1969. Dan sustained many injuries in a 1974 car accident, and was not able to return to meat inspection. He went on disability retirement, which allowed him time to look for the farm he’d wanted since he was young. He found that farm in Willard, in 1976. Dan and his family raised sheep for almost 40 years, but he also raised beef cattle, which became his main love. Sadly, a farm accident in 2013 forced him to sell his beloved cattle. He was an avid hunter in his younger days, and was a lifelong NRA member. A fused ankle, the result of the car accident, made it difficult for him to walk through the woods, so he later relied on the hunting adventures of his friends instead. Dan enjoyed going to school board, county and town meetings, and auctions; and was a die-hard Chicago Bears fan. Dan is survived by his wife of 56 years, Judy, of Willard; his sons: Daniel (Lora) Coughlin of Blomkest, Minn., and Brian (Kathy) Coughlin of Ionia, Mich.; three grandchildren: Paige Coughlin (Julian Reece) of Dallas, Texas, Shannon and Nicole Coughlin of Minnesota; many cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, aunts, uncles and several cousins. Dan’s family wishes to thank his doctors at the Marshfield Clinic; the incredible staff at the Marshfield Medical Center ER, ICU and general hospital for their outstanding care and compassion; the Marshfield Health Services nursing home team who cared for Dan in the past year; Eugene Saule and family who were there for us all these years; Greg Herrick, Dan’s dearest friend, with whom he loved talking “farming”; special friends, Bob and Heidi Davel, who have been there whenever we’ve needed them; Mark Shain; and many other good friends and family members.

Kathleen H. Skora, 85, Greenwood, passed away on Feb. 9, 2023, after a short battle with an unforgiving cancer just one week after the devastating diagnosis. Kathleen was born in Chicago, Ill. She spent many summers during her youth on a cousin’s farm in Thorp, ultimately moving her own family away from the big scary city to a small farm in Greenwood, after the first handful of kids arrived. The strong-willed woman had a variety of jobs as a youngster, including the oft-mentioned switchboard operator at RCA. Her family proudly survived the Great Depression and various hardships. As a young Catholic, Kathleen worked at the church and dreamed of becoming a nun, but soon learned it was her destiny to have a big family – producing 12 children, 12 grandchildren, one great-grandchild and a massive doll collection. Kathleen had an ever-present personality that could not be ignored, including flaming red hair and a temper to go with it (ask her kids); vented her frustrations through letters to the editor; broke the rules by displaying her collection of Christmas villages all year; and regularly cheered in agreement with TV’s Judge Judy. Kathleen enjoyed canning, gardening, cooking, making ceramics, farming, baking fruitcakes, pizza from scratch, garage saling and all things Elvis. She reaped the therapeutic benefits of knitting – maintaining a stockpile of slippers for gift-giving opportunities and created the Sweet Hut 1950s style restaurant – a pleasant reminder of her youth (with help from her army of kids, who had no knowledge of child labor laws at the time). Never giving up, Kathleen was optimistic she’d recover after her hospitalization, assigning tasks to be completed before her return; also, preparing for a spring garage sale. Sadly, this stubborn fighter was no match for the evils of cancer. Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 39 years, Adam; son, Stanley, in childbirth; son, Jim; parents, Arthur and Frances; and two brothers, Arthur Junior and George. She is survived by her children: Ann (Dave) Schuh, Wis., Patrick (Marcela) Skora, Ariz., Joe (Lourdes) Skora, Minn., Frances Skora, Wis., Jackie Skora, Wis., Arthur Skora, Wis., Susie (Joel) Richards, Minn., William (Kyle Robl) Skora, Wis., Amelia (Ken) La Casse, Minn., David (Brenda) Skora, Minn.; grandchildren; a great-grandchild; and further survived by her sister, Marjorie (Robert) Otto, Ariz.; many nieces and nephews; and loving neighbors.

On Feb. 2, Chuck Fischer, 80, bid farewell to the life he loved, gently letting go of the hands of his two daughters to courageously make his way into the loving arms of Jesus. Chuck was born on Nov. 9, 1942, and graduated from Loyal High School in 1960. After receiving his undergraduate degree in political science from UW-Stevens Point in 1964, he continued with a year of graduate studies at DeKalb University in Illinois, obtaining his certification in education. He received his master’s degree in history from UW-Oshkosh in 1981. In the fall of 1965, Chuck began his very successful teaching and coaching career at St. John Nepomucene High School in Little Chute. Upon the closing of St. John in 1973, he accepted a position at Little Chute High School teaching social studies and coaching wrestling and football. He remained at Little Chute until his retirement in 2005. Chuck’s incredibly fulfilling career positively impacted the lives of many students both in and out of the classroom. In response to a 2014 survey by the Post Crescent asking, who was your favorite teacher and why, a former student replied, “Chuck Fischer at Little Chute High School. He was intelligent and funny; he encouraged thought and discussion, respected the students and got a lot out of us.” Chuck always expected the best from his students and he carried these expectations onto the football field where he served as head football coach for his beloved Mustangs from 1985-2000. He always considered his coaching an extension of his classroom instruction and was passionate about the life lessons that could be learned through sports. Equally as dedicated to his community as his students, Chuck was a member of the Little Chute Village Board for 26 years, serving as a trustee from 1985 to 2007 and then board president from 2007 to 2011. He loved Little Chute from the moment he arrived, made many friends and took a great deal of pride in contributing to the community’s growth and development. Chuck is survived by his two daughters, whom he considered his angels. Melanie (Ken) Haen and Michelle (Cory) VandeWettering, always remained close by his side especially during the last leg of his journey. He is further survived by his four grandchildren, Lydia, Logan, Lynea and Libby; and two great-grandchildren, Brooks and Violet; as well as his sister, Sister Janet Fischer, FSPA (Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration) of Claxton, Ga.; his brother, George, and sister-in-law, Merry, both of Loyal; nieces, Janet, Carrie, Lisa and Amy; and nephews, Steve and Brian. He was preceded in death by his father, George Jr.; mother, Catherine (Brusky); brother, Donald; sister-in-law, Virginia; and infant sister, Rita. Chuck will always be remembered for his humor and quick wit, competitive spirit, love for Jeopardy, confidence in young people, integrity and commitment to making the world a better place for all. A funeral mass for Chuck will be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, 411 Vandenbroek St., Little Chute.
