Kathleen "Katie" A. Schauer

Kathleen “Katie” Ann Schauer, age 73, passed away peacefully on September 21st, 2022 at Railway Group Home, Tomahawk, Wisconsin.

Katie was born April 28, 1949 in Wausau, Wisconsin, daughter of the late Albert and Beatrice (Velcheck) Schauer.  She lived at home until she was admitted to Northern Wisconsin Colony, Chippewa Falls, in 1955.  She was transferred to Horizons Unlimited in Rhinelander in 1971, then moved into Railway Group Home in 2005, where she resided until her death.

Katie enjoyed visits from her family, especially the snacks and gifts.  She loved watching birds and squirrels at the feeders outside her window, listening to music, watching TV and going for assisted walks with her caregivers and brothers.

She is survived by her three brothers:  Richard (Kathryn) Wausau; Robert (Nancy); and John, Wausau.

Her family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the many dedicated caregivers that worked with Katie during her lifetime and provided wonderful and compassionate assistance to keep her healthy, cheerful and comfortable.  Special thanks to the staff at Railway and Lori Lemke.

A private family prayer service will be held September 28th and burial will be at Restlawn Memorial Park.  Peterson Kraemer Funeral Home is assisting.  Online condolences may be expressed at www.petersonkraemer.com.
