On Oct 5
th
, 2023; surrounded by her loving and devoted family, Lucille M. Scheuerman, 94, was welcomed by her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to her Heavenly home.
Lou was born in Abbotsford, WI on April 23, 1929, to Christian and Pearl (nee: Leitzke) Fink. She was the oldest of 10 children. Her family ended up in Racine, Wisconsin. She met and married Milan "Mike" Scheuerman at Trinity Lutheran Church on June 11, 1949. They celebrated 65 years of marriage. He passed away on their 65
th
wedding anniversary after holding her hand all day. They raised four children together which wasn't always easy, but she was always patient, loving, and kind. She was hard working and never complained. She was strong and she loved God and her family.
Lou retired from Meadowbrook Country Club after 35 years. She was known for her cinnamon rolls. After retirement, Lou and Mike enjoyed traveling at every opportunity. Hawaii was a favorite destination, having gone eight times. They also went to Alaska, The Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, and nearly every state. Lou enjoyed fishing, camping, casinos, playing cards (especially cribbage), doing puzzles, socializing, and crocheting. Almost everyone was gifted with one of her afghans.
She was always a loving, patient, and kind grandmother with a little bit of sass in her older years. Most importantly she loved to be with her family and was extremely close with all her children and grandchildren.
Lou and Mike spent their summers in Adams co., and their winters in Bartow, Florida at Good Life Park. After Mike passed, she chose to stay close to her family in Wisconsin. She always had family at her house and by her side. One or more family members were there daily to see her smiley face and to fulfill a promise to dad (papa, Mike). Which was that family would always "feed ma" and care for her. We were beyond blessed to have this beautiful lady, inside and out as our mom and grandmother.
She will be dearly missed by her children, Linda Johnson, Michael "Buck" Scheuerman, Sandy Scheuerman and Wendy (Dale) Reinders, grandchildren Venessa (Peter) Kleinfeldt, Erin Johnson, Katie and Ryan Scheuerman, Nathan (Kari) Scheuerman, April Jensen, David Neau, Eric (Kerry) Jensen, Joshua (Megan), Bodie and Gideon Reinders, 16 great grandchildren, 4 great great grandchildren, brothers Vernon, Duane and Robert Fink and sister Darelene (Jim) Peterson. Lou is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Mike, son in law Lars Johnson, brothers Roger, Arlan "Archie" and Vilas Fink, sisters Violet Duba and Phyllis Degerstedt, brothers in law and sisters in law.
A memorial visitation for Lou will be held at the funeral home on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 3:30p.m. until 5:00 p.m. Memorial Service will follow at 5:00 p.m.
The family would like to thank Dr. Niebuhr for squeezing her into his schedule and being so great. They wish to thank Aurora Hospice nurses Katherine, Lisa, Nancy and Kate for their compassionate care. Big thank you to her watchful and caring neighbor Turk. They would also like to thank April Jensen and Kari for the extra help and love and Pastor David Gehne for visiting Lou and praying with her.
