Age 72, peacefully entered eternal life on Wednesday, with her loving family at her side. Our mom was born in Baraboo, WI, the daughter of Louis and Melania (Pulvermacher) Pape. She graduated from Sauk City High School in 1960, and went on to work at the Prairie Clinic for 30 years before retiring in 2004.
Mom had a beautiful voice, and enjoyed singing all her life. She grew up singing with her family, singing in the church choir, was a member of the Madison Diocesan Choir and most recently was a member of the Hilltop Gospel Singers.
Our mom was incredibly creative. Throughout her life she crocheted beautiful afghans, embroidered table clothes and pillow cases, and in her later years found joy in painting amazing pictures. She generously gave many of her creations away as gifts. Those who received them, knew they were filled with love.
Mom was happiest when she was surrounded by all of her family, or visiting with friends. She was a wonderful cook and loved to bake. One of her favorite things was finding a new recipe to share with her family.
Mom’s faith played a pivotal role in her life. She was a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Sauk City for over 50 years, a member of Christian Women’s Group, and the former Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
Preceded in death by her father Louis Pape, and her siblings, Mildred Kuehn, Art and Mary Jo Pape, and father- and mother-in-law Leonard and Irene Alt.
