Born April 17, 1999, to Connie (Cudnohosky) Schuettpelz and Ronald Marohl, Crystal Marohl had just celebrated her 18th birthday. She was two weeks away from her graduation from Gillett High School. She was very excited about her plans to attend college at River Falls where she planned to seek a degree in agricultural science, but on May 13, 2017, sadly we lost her along with her mother, Connie, in a terrible accident.

Crystal recently enjoyed a trip to Costa Rica with her Spanish Club. She was active in sports, mostly volleyball, chorus and very active in band, where she learned to play several instruments. She loved to hunt with her father, Ronald, and was proud to display at least one beautiful buck. She loved the outdoors and really wanted to farm in one fashion or another. While she dreamed of getting her college degree, she was, in a way, already living out her dream with sort of a hobby farm. She and her sister, Myriah, had some chickens and ducks and quite a few varieties of rabbits. Some of her animals were to be shown at the county fair, but she loved going to pet swaps and was able to procure more varieties by exchanging some of the stock she raised, sometimes for supplies, but usually for someone else’s pride and joy. Her smartphone was always filled with pictures of her own pride and joy, usually bunnies.

In an homage to her late grandma Dorothy’s love of robins as the harbinger of spring, Crystal recently got a tattoo, “Fly Free Like a Robin.” So we wish you, too, Crystal, to “fly free,” but let’s make that an eagle.

Crystal is immediately survived by her father, Ronald Marohl; her sister, Myriah Marohl; nieces and a nephew. She is further survived by Ronald’s children, Cory Marohl (special friend Heather); of Appleton, Adam Marohl (special friend Jenny); of Shawano; and Sara (Ben) Miller; of Black Earth.

She will be deeply missed by her aunt Cheryl Mandeville and Allen (Uncle Alleycat), of Green Bay; also, uncle Alvin Cudnohosky and Donna, of Klondike, and their daughter, Emily Cudnohosky; Alvin’s daughter, Pamala (Robert) Bleecker, of Poysippi, and son, Aric Cudnohosky, of Des Moines, Iowa, and their children; also Donna’s daughter, Tara (Jeremy) Van Ark, and their children, and Donna’s son, Brandon Kempke. She is survived by her great-aunt, Gloria Kilmer, and many second cousins in the family of Gloria, and the late great-aunt and great-uncle Mary and Roy Kempky family.

Crystal has many aunts and uncles on her father’s side. They are Steve (Charlie) and Barb Marohl, Bobby and Sherri Marohl, Stanley and Janet Marohl, Jimmy and Jane Marohl, David and Corby Marohl, Ed and Julie Marohl, Janice and Don Herm, Susie and Jay Williams, Paula Marohl, and Bill and Jeanie Marohl. She also survived by a great many cousins.

Crystal lost her life simultaneously with her mother, Connie Schuettpelz. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Roy and Dorothy Cudnohosky and Adolph and Joyce Marohl . Also preceding her were great-aunt and great-uncle Mary and Roy Kempky, and a very, very special great-aunt, Elaine (Tootie) Falk.

There will be one service for both Crystal and her mother Connie on May 21, 2017. Visitation begins at 1 p.m. with a service at 3 p.m. Pastor Schoenemann will officiate at Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Breed. 13346 County Road AA, Suring. Burial will take place at a later date.

On April 24, 1963, Connie was born to Roy and Dorothy Cudnohosky. Growing up on the family farm in the Klondike area, she graduated from Coleman High School and later from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay.

She eventually met up with her life partner, Ronald Marohl, and they settled down in Gillett. Together they raised two beautiful daughters, Myriah, the younger, and Crystal, the older, who unfortunately lost her life on earth at the same moment as her mother, Connie, due to a terrible auto accident on May 13, 2017.

During her years as a 4-H member, when her mother, Dorothy, was also a beekeeper, Connie was able to compete and reign for one year as the Honey Queen. As an avid gardener, her mother, Dorothy, had a knack for knowing the Latin names for just about everything one would think to put in a garden, a knack that Connie shared with her. She also learned to be an excellent seamstress. She and her sister, Cheryl, had both gone on to sew several weddings’ worth of bridal wear. Another shared hobby in more recent years was collecting and reading cookbooks, where one could just imagine and enjoy the results whether you made the recipe or not. As fun as it was to try new things, there was nothing like the old family favorites that Mom used to make, and she enjoyed those, too.

Connie is survived by her fiance, Ronald Marohl, and their daughter, Myriah Marohl, of Gillett; her sister, Cheryl Mandeville, and Allen, of Green Bay; her brother, Alvin Cudnohosky, and Donna, of Klondike. She is also survived by Alvin’s children, Pamala and Robert Bleecker, and Aric Cudnohosky and their children; Alvin and Donna’s daughter, Emily Cudnohosky, and Donna’s daughter, Tara, and Jeremy Van Ark; and Donna’s son, Brandon Kempke, and their children. One aunt remains, Gloria Kilmer, along with many beautiful cousins, children of both Gloria and the late Roy and Mary Kempky, and all of their children. She is further survived by the children of Ronald. They are Cory Marohl (special friend Heather), Adam Marohl (special friend Jenny Schroeder), Sara and Ben Miller and their children.

She was preceded in death by both of her parents, Roy and Dorothy Cudnohosky; infant sister, Barbara; her grandparents, Paul and Mary Kempky; aunt and uncle, Mary and Roy Kempky; grandparents, Fred and Bertha Cudnohosky; aunt and uncle, Violet and Ted Cudnohosky; and aunt, Hilda Cudnohosky.

There will be one service for both Connie and her daughter, Crystal. It will be held on May 21, 2017, at Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Breed. The address is 13346 County Road AA, Suring. Visitation begins at 1 p.m., and a service will be held at 3 p.m. with Pastor Schoenemann officiating. Burial will take place at a later date.

Donald Neil Johnson, 85, passed away peacefully in his home in Sun City West, Arizona, on May 6, 2017.

Don was preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, Margaret. Surviving children include Bruce, Brian (Dianne) and Linda (Jim Kaiser); grandchildren, Devan, Aren and Noah; great-grandchildren, Braylee and Caleb.

Don graduated from St. Olaf College in 1954 and served three years in the Air Force. He earned his master’s degree in hospital administration in 1960 from the University of Minnesota. He soon after put his skills and talents to work at Shawano Community Hospital for nearly 20 years. Don’s dedication to his position as administrator contributed to a highly efficient facility as well as improvement and expansion. He finished his career at Luther Hospital in Eau Claire after many years of establishing continued excellence.

Don was athletically gifted and used those skills, especially basketball, to achieve many awards growing up in Chicago and into college. While caddying as a teenager at golf clubs in Chicago, where he caddied for his golf idol Ben Hogan, he acquired his true passion, which was golf. He had a long list of accomplishments that also carried into retirement where he shot his age several times beginning at 68. He also greatly enjoyed curling, swimming, racquetball and volunteering at the local dog shelters.

Don deeply missed Margaret since her passing last June and now they blessedly have been reunited in heavenly perfection. Too bad he could not take his beloved Chicago Bears blanket with him.
