Obituary:
Elizabeth Jane (Schomisch) Luedeke passed peacefully into eternal life on August 18, 2016.
Betty was born on April 30, 1923 to Nickolas and Bertha (Grogan) Schomisch in Stockbridge, WI. She graduated from Chilton High School and County Normal Teacher's College in Kaukauna. She furthered her education at Oshkosh Teacher's College. Betty taught primary grades in Hilbert Public School for five years, the first year teaching in a one room school house. Betty married Carlton Luedeke on Oct. 4, 1948 at St. Augustine's Church in Chilton, WI. Together, they created our family with Betty being the heart and soul of our home. Betty lived most of her adult life in Appleton. She was an active member of St. Therese parish and then St. Thomas More parish from its beginning.
Betty was never idle for long. She was a second grade CCD teacher at St. Thomas More for many years, a Girl Scout leader, poll worker, Avon Lady, and one of the "mermaids" at the Little Mermaid, one of her fondest jobs. Betty was very creative and was accomplished at many activities, such as sewing (exceptional), baking (pies!), painting, cross stitch, and knitting. She had an eye for color and style that was evident in everything she touched.
Betty enjoyed music, gardening, golfing, hiking, traveling, ballroom dancing, skiing, and reading. She was an avid bridge player to the end, having played in one of her clubs for over fifty years. She loved a good joke and loved to tell it.
Betty was a devoted wife and a warm and loving mother & grandmother. She quietly gave of herself to those in need throughout her life. More than anything, she was a kind and compassionate woman who loved life, her family, and her God.
Betty is survived by her husband, Carlton , her daughters Mary (Chase) Wichmann - Oshkosh; Beverly (Thomas) Schroeder - Kohler; Laura Luedeke (fiancé Mike Harer) - Appleton; Janiece (David) Johansen - Baton Rouge, LA; her grandchildren Daniel Wichmann (fiancée Lacey Cover)- Omaha, NE; Benjamin Wichmann - Houston, TX; Aaron Wichmann - Omaha, NE; Sarah Wichmann - Oshkosh; Nicole Schroeder - Washington, D.C.; Robert (Elsbeth) Schroeder - Monterey, CA; Nicholas (Anna) Krasin - Denver, CO; Kathryn (Charlie) Cimet - Acton, MA; Jennifer Krasin (special friend Cal Seabaugh) - Prescott, AZ; Ethan Johansen, Baton Rouge, LA; and one great-granddaughter, Elsa Krasin - Denver, CO. She is further survived by her sister, Margaret Schwabenlender - Fond du Lac, and sisters-in-law, Loretta Schomisch - Milwaukee and Marie Schomisch - Waupun.
Betty is preceded in death by her parents and brothers and brother- and sistersr-in-law; Paul and Jeanette Schomisch, Robert and Gladys Schomisch, Bernard Schomisch, Francis and Dorothy Schomisch, Eldred (Butch) Schomisch, and Jerome Schwabenlender.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be held 11 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24, 2016 at St. Thomas More, 1810 N. Mc Donald St., Appleton with the Rev. James Lucas and Rev. Gerald Falk officiating.
