Carol Siegl

Carol Mary (Schroeder) Siegl, 85 of rural Plymouth, passed away peacefully on October 20,
2020 at Gables on the Pond in Random Lake surrounded by her family.
She was born on July 31, 1935 in Sheboygan to John and Alice (Lugg) Schroeder. Carol attended
Sheboygan schools. She worked at Honold & La Page Inc. as a bookkeeper and later was the
accountant for Siegl Services. Carol met her future husband, Jack Siegl at the Sheboygan
Quarry where he was a lifeguard. They were married February 8, 1958 at St. Dominic Catholic
Church in Sheboygan. After their marriage they moved to Plymouth, where together they
started Siegl Services, a pump business. Carol loved being on Lake Michigan and traveling with
her family on the beloved family boat “Siegl’s Nest”. Their cruising took her across Lake
Michigan in the late 60’s where they found Onekama Marine on beautiful Portage Lake where
she and her family eventually spent every summer. Carol was an accomplished first mate and
spent many summers cruising and living on the boat, traveling to northern Lake Michigan and
the North Channel in Canada. She instilled her love of boats and Lake Michigan in her
daughters who continue to carry on her legacy with their own boating adventures. She loved
being outdoors and was an excellent baker, cook and seamstress. Helping her family on
projects and cutting/splitting wood were favorite activities. Carol also enjoyed flying and they
owned a small airplane her friend coined “Siegl’s Eagle” which they often flew across the lake to
visit their friends in Michigan.
Carol will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was an awesome wife, mother, sister, and
friend to many. She was a kind, supportive wife and mother who was always willing to help
with projects of any kind.
Carol is survived by her two daughters, Beverly (Scott) Verhage of Kewaskum and Karen (Mark)
Regenhardt and their son Drake of Woodstock, Illinois. She is further survived by her sister,
Ann Bartzen, of Sheboygan and sister-in-law Sr. Donna Siegl, Order of St. Francis of Assisi, of
West Bend. Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Jack on May 4, 2019
