Carol Mae Koth (nee Schmidt), 90, went to her Heavenly home to be with her Savior on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Hamilton House Assisted Living in Cedarburg.
Carol was born on July 11, 1933, in the Town of Mitchell, to the late Otto and Erma Schmidt (nee Wittenberg). She was baptized, confirmed, and married at Trinity Lutheran Church in Dundee, WI. She graduated from Kewaskum High School in 1951 and there met the love of her life, Kenneth Koth. She married her high school sweetheart in 1954 and recently celebrated 69 years of marriage. They were blessed with two children, a daughter Shary, a son Terry, and an infant son Timothy who passed away at birth.
Carol had several jobs during her lifetime, some being Browns Floral, Amity Leather, and the General Antique Store in Kewaskum where she enjoyed meeting new people. Carol had a passion for baking special recipes, traveling, watching the Brewers and Green Bay Packers and making fun road trips to Shawano. Carol's number one priority was always her family. Her favorite times were spent shopping with her daughter and granddaughters and cheering on her son and grandchildren at all their athletic events.
Those left to cherish Carol's memory include her husband Kenneth Koth; daughter, Shary (John) Witte; son, Terry (Lori) Koth; grandchildren, Kali (Chris) West, Kyle (Corrine) Witte, Taylor (Andrea) Koth, and Morgan (Paul) Fitzgerald; great-grandchildren, Kierstyn, Kenlyn, Karyss West, Landon and Skylar Witte, Brooklyn and Madison Koth; sister, Phyllis Narges, sisters-in-law, Lois, Gayl, and Joyce Schmidt; nieces and nephews.
