Elizabeth A. "Betty" Mauch

Elizabeth "Betty" Ann Mauch, age 88, passed away on September 17, 2025 at SSM Health/St. Agnes Hospital. She was born on May 31, 1937 in Milwaukee, a daughter of the late Lawrence and Esther Markowski Wamser.

On June 26, 1954 she married her best friend Richard "Dick" Mauch at St. Anthony Catholic Church, Milwaukee by her Uncle Rev. Joseph Wamser.

Betty was a homemaker, but was involved with Boy Scouts and served as a Den Mother for over 10 years. Following their move to Fond du Lac, she and Dick purchased Remington Store and after its sale, owned and operated the Card Shack until her retirement in 2014.

She loved gardening and took pride in keeping and growing hers and the family's geraniums over the winters for many years. Betty also loved the Packers, cheering loudly in her room and getting pull-tabs from Backyard.

Going to work everyday was never a chore as she loved greeting her customers numbering in the thousands, many of whom became cherished friends. She and Dick were faithful volunteers with Broken Bread for many years.
