Gail (Dachelet) Petersen, 97, of Sturgeon Bay passed away peacefully on June 24, 2023. She was born on October 3, 1925 to Nelson and Esther (Leist) Dachelet in Manitowoc, WI. Gail was united in marriage to Arnold C. Petersen “Arnie” on September 29, 1945 at Bay View Lutheran Church in Sturgeon Bay.  Arnie and Gail were blessed with 49 years of marriage until his death in 1994.

Gail and Arnie cherished their family, friends, and deep love for Sturgeon Bay and the maritime community. Other than 5 years they spent in Cairo, IL they spent their entire life together in Sturgeon Bay where they built their first and current home in 1954.  They leave a business legacy tied to Door County. Arnie was president of a partnership that brought Marine Travelift back to Sturgeon Bay in 1969 where Arnie stayed until he retired in 1985.

Gail enjoyed people and loved to stay engaged in world events. She had a passion for politics and a love of our country. She got her first job at age 16 working at Woolworth’s candy counter and soda fountain where she earned $.25/hr. Gail often recounted her childhood memories and home near the Nautical Inn, a one-bedroom apartment that her mother rented for $10/month. She shared many stories about life in Sturgeon Bay throughout the years including during World War II, working at the Nightingale Supper Club, Prange’s, Miller’s Clothing, and the first time she saw her future husband Arnie who caught her eye as he was getting his shoes shined and reading a newspaper.  

During Gail’s lifetime, she was actively involved in her church and community organizations including the Door County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, volunteering as a Candy Striper and at the Blood Bank. Gail graduated from SBHS in 1944 and later served on the Sturgeon Bay School Board from 1978-1984.  She enjoyed social activities with the Sturgeon Bay Women’s Golf Association, Couples golf, Golfing-Bowlers, Bridge Club, Gin Rummy Club, and the Door County Republican Party.

Gail spent 14 winters in AZ and enjoyed many new friendships along with special trips with her daughter, Suzanne. She attributed her health and longevity to her special time at the Islander RV Resort in Lake Havasu City, AZ. 

She was often seen with her longtime friends, Pearl Beane, Lois Michelson, Jane Holen, Margie Larsen, and Priscilla Brockett, as they met for coffee on Sundays after church. The were coined as “The Sturgeon Bay Golden Girls.”

Gail loved to drive her white 2006 Ford Minivan affectionately named, “White Lightning” by her family because of her heavy foot and ability to use her white hair to turn a speeding ticket into a warning.

Gail’s grandchildren and great grandchildren had many family traditions for their visits to Grandma’s house which always included Birmingham’s Bar and Restaurant for the famous perch fish fry, The Farm, Roast Chicken at The Mill, The Lodge, and most recently Monday night, Surf and Turf at The Nightingale. Grandma Gail spent many hours with the kids playing Rummy, shooting pool, mini golf and baking their favorite sweet treats with and for the Grandchildren. She continued her love of reading, doing brain games, and knitting dish cloths to give away to others.

In her final months, Gail eagerly reflected on going to heaven and reuniting with her husband, daughters, mother, and meeting her dad that passed away when she was 3 years old.

Gail’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Pine Crest Village, Unity Hospice, St. Peter’s Church, and friends for their love, care and compassion. Thank you to Pat Kring for being a special friend that always made her white hair look gorgeous.

Gail is survived by her two grandchildren, Kirk (Marcia) Hanratty, Elm Grove, WI; Kim (Dennis) Doyle, Chenequa, WI; four great-grandchildren, Kyle (Catherine) Hanratty, Jacksonville, FL; Max Hanratty (Helen Chang) New York, NY; Taylor (Dr. Taylor Loeffler) Doyle, Elm Grove, WI; Matthew Doyle (Alyssa Oldenburg) Chenequa, WI; niece Joan (Lenny) Shefchik, Green Bay, WI; nephews, Phil (Linda) Baye, De Pere, WI; Paul Baye (Suzanne Beers) Colorado Springs, CO; son-in-law John Strong, Sturgeon Bay, WI.

Dr. Allan F. Schneider, 97, of Mt. Pleasant, WI, and Sister Bay, WI, passed away peacefully at St. Monica’s Senior Living on June 9th, 2023 after a long, well-lived life with his wife and children by his side.

Allan was born in Chicago to Emory and Esther (Westgard) Schneider and was raised in Oak Park, IL.  He graduated from Oak Park-River Forest High School and began his higher education journey at his beloved Beloit College where he pledged Beta Theta Pi Fraternity and eventually declared a major in Geology.

In 1947, some friends set him up on a blind date with a “cute freshman girl” from Milwaukee named Betty Lou Dorn, who, on August 26, 1950, became his wife, and were married for 72 years.

Allan graduated from Beloit College in 1948 with his B.S. in Geology, went on to obtain his Master’s of Science in Geology Degree from Penn State University in 1951, and finally earned his PhD in Geology from the University of Minnesota in 1957.  Allan was a geologist, professor, scientist, conservationist, and author. He accepted teaching positions at Penn State, the University of Minnesota, Washington State University, and Indiana University and finished his career as a Professor of Geology Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin Parkside.  Dr. Schneider took research positions with the U.S. Geological Survey, the Minnesota Geological Survey, the Indiana Geological Survey, and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. 

Allan had a special place in his heart for Door County and its land.  His ancestry was rooted there as his maternal great-grandparents, Peter and Anna Johnson, immigrated from Denmark shortly after the Civil War and settled in Ephraim, WI.  Allan’s mother went to live with them and attended the one-room schoolhouse and the Moravian Church.  He conducted numerous courses, workshops, and field trips for the Kenosha Public Museum, Neville Public Museum, The Ridges Sanctuary, several Wisconsin state parks, Ice Age Trail, Bjorklund (Lawrence University), and The Clearing.

Allan and Betty were dual members of both the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Racine, WI., and Bethany Lutheran Church in Ephraim, WI.

Allan was incredibly social and could speak about his interests for hours.  He loved his work and referred to every person he met as a “friend.”  He was passionate about protecting the land and worked tirelessly to teach others about the beauty and significance of the earth.

Allan is survived by his beautiful wife Betty Louise (Dorn) Schneider, three children, David Schneider, Doris (Paul) Rossmann, and James (Michelle) Schneider, five grandchildren, Adam Rossmann, Geoffrey (Amy) Rossmann, Alissa (Jessup) Fredrick, Haley Rossmann, and Kelli Schneider, and two great-grandchildren, Scarlett Manning, and Cassidy Rossmann.  He was preceded in death by his father, mother, and brother Bruce Schneider. 

Family and friends are invited to meet at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home, 4600 County Line Road, Mt. Pleasant, WI 53403 on Saturday, June 24th, for a memorial service celebrating Allan’s life, with visitation from 10:00 am until the service at 11:00 am. 

The family plans a graveside service later this fall at the Moravian Cemetery in Ephraim, WI.

The comment many people are making is “Peggy was so nice.” She was a member of Hope United Church of Christ. Peggy was a great athlete.

     On February 8, 1944, she was united in marriage to Thomas Robert Vanderhoof, Sr, in Tampa Bay, Florida. Together, they built a life on their farm in Institute, raising seven sons. Florence loved tending to her flower beds. She was a caregiver in every sense of the word, as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. As a mom to seven sons, she was strong, patient, and forgiving.

     She was a great cook and baker. Her family enjoyed indulging in her treats. Even when she could no longer bake, she ensured she had treats in the house in case she had company.

     Besides feeding seven growing young men, Florence worked in the kitchen at Sevastopol School for 20 years, feeding generations of young people. She was proud to be part of a staff that cooked from scratch using coveted, secret recipes.

     Later in life, Florence enjoyed reading, watching westerns, and sitting around her kitchen table catching up with her family members. She was proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and loved to hear updates on their lives.

     Her life was defined by her strength. The strength it takes to care for others, the strength it takes to referee seven boys into adulthood, the strength it takes to bury a son, the strength it takes to beat a cancer diagnosis and tuberculosis, the strength it takes to live to 94 and experience great change, loss, and hope.

     Florence was preceded in death by her parents; siblings; husband, Thomas Vanderhoof, Sr.; son, John Vanderhoof; and great-grandchildren, Elijah and Hunter.

     She is survived by her children, Thomas (Vickey) Vanderhoof, Jr. of Sturgeon Bay, daughter-in-law, Laurie Vanderhoof of Sturgeon Bay, Robert (Gina) Vanderhoof of Stevens Point, Joseph Vanderhoof of Sturgeon Bay, Charles (Karen) Vanderhoof of Luxemburg, David (Marianne) Vanderhoof of Satsuma, Florida, and Peter (Julie) Vanderhoof of Sturgeon Bay; her grandchildren and their families, Thomas Vanderhoof III, Scott Vanderhoof, Sarah (Jake) Duginski [Lamyra, Cloe, Joseph, Loretta], Mindi (Josh Toivonen) Vanderhoof [Jackson, Emersyn], Samantha (Ernest) Beutel, Heather (fiancé Eric Erickson) Vanderhoof [Lakota], Rachel Vanderhoof [Demarcus, Jahzara, Blaze, Garot], Peter Vanderhoof, Jr., Edward (Megan) Vanderhoof, David (Kelly) Vanderhoof, Jr. [Zelda], and Johnny Vanderhoof; many step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.

     A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:30 a.m. Friday, June 9, 2023 at St. Joseph Catholic Church with Fr. Robert Stegmann officiating. Burial will follow at Bayside Cemetery.

     Friends may call at the church Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of Mass at 11:30 a.m.

     The family would like to thank Unity Hospice for the care and counsel they provided Florence. In lieu of memorials, consider donations to Unity Hospice.
