Jean M. Stauber

JEAN STAUBER NORWAY- Jeanie was an angel sent by God to touch the lives of those she met. She completed the job God sent her to do and has now been called home to Him. Jeanie went to see her Father Friday, March 25, 2011 at her home in Norway. She was born on April 6, 1945 in Harrington, Kansas the daughter of the late Joseph and Marion (Huth) Stauber. Jeanie attended St. Coletta School in Jefferson, WI for 11 years. She returned to Norway and worked for the Holy Spirit School Convent as a housekeeper for the nuns. Jeanie then worked at Trico, the sheltered work shop and later worked at Ebeling’s Grocery Store as a bagger. She volunteered at St. Vincent DePaul Store in Norway for many years. She was a member of both St. Mary’s Church in Norway and St. Anthony’s Church in Niagara, were she was a greeter. In September 2008, Jeanie was honored by the Works of Mercy Organization of Milwaukee with a banquet in Kohler, WI and was one of the first people to receive their “Ordinary Graces” Award. Jeanie lived life void of anger, hate and mistrust. She kept her family and close friends grounded. Her simplicity of life left a mark on all those she met. She had a genuine love that everyone felt, for everyone was an important part of her life. She never saw our flaws and her patience was an example for all of us. She enjoyed making and giving things to people, including artistic pictures, quilts, cross stitch, embroidery, beadwork and rug hooking. Her one week summer camp was very important to her for over 25 years at Archbishop Cousins Center in Milwaukee, WI. She is survived by her sisters Margaret “Peg” Stauber of Norway, Mary Jo Stauber of Northumberland, PA., and Janet (George) Godlewski of Northumberland, PA.; nephews Aaron (Cassie Luciano) Godlewski of Sunbury, PA and Matthew (Meredith McCormick) Godlewski of Newark, DE; aunts Eleanor Reinecke of Minocqua; cousins Tom, Ken and Larry Reinecke; special friends Ann (Tom) Miksa of Norway, Verna (Bob) Adams of Norway; Cherie Marcotte and family of Negaunee, Theresa Johanek of Grafton, WI and Rev. James (Marian) Holmberg of Waukesha, WI, Donna DeFiore of Norway and Susie Cattelan of Norway; and numerous friends. Please do not be sad for Jeanie, for she would not want that. Keep in mind that God touched our lives through her. May we all be better individuals because she has been a part of our lives and may we open our hearts to others the way she did for us. Family will greet friends on Saturday, April 9 from 9:30 - 11 a.m. at St. Anthony’s Church in Niagara. A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony's Church with Father Matt Settle presiding. Luncheon to follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Hall in Norway.
