Carol Hubing

Carol Louise Wichman Hubing, 88, formerly of 7929 West Packer Drive, Wausau, Wisconsin passed away peacefully on April 16, 2007. Born on July 15, 1919 in Plymouth, Wisconsin, Carol was the daughter of Clarence and Adele (Bein) Wichman. She graduated Valedictorian from Athens High School and obtained her teaching degree from Stevens Point State Teachers College. She taught all grades 1-8 in a local country school for several years. On June 28, 1941, she was united in marriage to Michael F. Hubing of Athens, Wisconsin at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Athens. They were happily married for 55 year before Mike preceded her in death on March 22, 1996. Carol was a devoted mother and ;;homemaker who in addition to raising three boys and three girls, was an active participant with Mike in ownership and operation Hubing Auto Parts, first in Athens, later in the Wausau area. Carol was a very well read person, an avid crosswords fan, a wonderful gardener and never missed voting in a presidential election. She most especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She and Mike both enjoyed traveling and had a special fondness for their winter home in Mesa, Arizona. She was a loving and compassionate mother, wife, and friend. She was a member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Wausau, WI. As well as a friend of the Mount Calvary Lutheran Church in Acton, MA. She will be remembered as a lady of distinction with a keen sense of humor and her beautiful smile will surely be missed by everyone who knew her. She is survived by her 6 children and their spouses: Diane (Robert) Williams of Sanibel Island, Florida, Julie Hubing (Gary) Lotzer of Pinetop, Arizona, Roger (Cheryl) Hubing of Hastings, Minnesota, Linda Hubing (David) Kleinschmidt of Action, Massachusetts, David (Audrey) Hubing of Mosinee, Wisconsin and James (Patty) Hubing of Schofield, Wisconsin. Also, 11 grandchildren; Lauri (Jon) Reitz, Daniel (Kathy) Williams, Trisha Lotzer, Rebecca (Michael) Castagna, Jason and Sara Hubing, John Kleinschmidt, Kimberly and Ashley Hubing, and Michael and Andre Hubing, as well as 6 great grandchildren: Allison, Erica, and Sarah Reitz, Weston Williams, and Caroline and Claudia Castagna. She was preceded in death by her younger sister Alice Wichman Wright. A Celebration of Life Memorial will be held this summer to remember Carol. It is planned to take place at Lake Nokomis, in Tomahawk Wisconsin, where she spent many joyful hours in the past few summers at the summer home of son and daughter-in-law Jim and Patty Hubing. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established in Carol's name. Dear Lord, we commend unto you the soul of your servant, Carol. May she live with you for all eternity? Amen.
