Ann Gaukel Obituary
Ann Lochner Gaukel
April 25, 1933 - August 21, 2024
MINNETONKA, MN - Ann Gaukel, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law, teacher, neighbor and friend passed away on August 21, 2024.
Ann was born and spent most of her life in southern Wisconsin. She was proud of her family and proud to have been a third-grade teacher. A terrific knitter, Bridge player, baker and entertainer, Ann loved to have a good time and was quick with a smile and a story.
She is survived by her daughters: Katherine (Barry), Jane (Neil), and Connie (Dave); nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. We will miss her dearly.
Private interment. In lieu of flowers/memorials, take the trip, learn a new skill, eat the WHOLE dessert, throw the party and boast about the people you love.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
