Ann L. Schemel, 67, of Racine passed away at her residence on Friday, October 4, 2024. She was born in Edgerton, WI on November 11, 1956, the daughter of the late John and Delores (Nee: Goede) Schumacher Sr.

On September 17, 1983, in Edgerton, WI, she was united in marriage to the love of her life, David P. Schemel. They shared 37 years of marriage together until he preceded her in death on December 1, 2020. Ann had a passion and calling to take care of others and worked as a CNA in Rock County. She worked as a caregiver until she and David started their family in 1986. Ann brought three children into this world and devoted her life to them by becoming a stay-at-home mom. In her free time, Ann enjoyed getting lost in the storyline of a good book, trying new creative endeavors, and doing word puzzles. Ann was also an avid thrifter and always found the best treasures. However, her greatest enjoyment came from the times she spent with family and friends.

Surviving are her two daughters, Abbey and Lindsey Gwinnup, of Kenosha, and Sara Schemel, of Madison; two grandchildren, Kinzie and Lynden Gwinnup; and her brother, John (Debbie) Schumacher Jr., of Milton, WI. Her nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends also survive her. In addition to her parents and beloved husband, Ann was preceded in death by her son, Billy Schemel.

    Abbey and family and Sara, My deepest sympathies on the loss of your mother Ann. Ann was a wonderful wife, mother, friend. She was caring, loving and goofy as all heck, Ann was truly one of a kind. She was my great friend and neighbor for over 23 years through good and bad. I have so many great memories of her. I will miss her.

    Been quite a long time since I’ve seen her. We were classmates through high school. We also had gone to St. John’s Lutheran school through 8th grade together. Her dad was a school bus driver and I had rode his bus. We had some good times when we were that young. Deepest sympathy for your loss.

    My sympathy to Ann’s family. I’ve known Ann since junior high. She would call at least once a year and we would talk. We may not have seen each other much, but I loved our phone calls. I am going to miss Ann very much.

    Ann has been my friend since kindergarten when we were at St. John’s Lutheran Day School. She left St. John’s for 7th grade for public school. We continued being friends as the years went on. We just talked on the phone 2 weeks before her passing. One story I remember she stopped by to visit while she left a slice of ham cooking on the stove. I got a phone call a bit later saying her apartment was full of smoke and her dinner was burnt up. Ann, I will miss your phone calls. I know you’re in a better place with David and Billy. Bless you Ann for your friendship. Talk to you later. Thank you for being my friend.

    Ann was the first person I met when My Family moved to Edgerton, next to grandma and Grandpa Schumacher. She spent alot of time at the swimming pool and took me also to get to know some people. When we Started high school she was a rock to keep me socializing and continued long after. We used to talk about 3 times a year until recently. I was in the hospital when she passed and I am very sorry with her Passing.

I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful attention to every detail you provided our family for my dad’s service. We were touched by the jazz music playing softly in the background. It was a fitting service for my dear Dad.
