cancer. Mary was born March 10, 1937, in Sheboygan to the late Albert and Stella
(Bittner) Wehner. Mary attended Holy Name of Jesus Parish Elementary School
and graduated in 1954 from North High School. On November 25, 1967, Mary was
united in marriage to Tom Schoemer at Holy Name of Jesus Church and happily
celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2017. Over the years Mary enjoyed her many
employment experiences doing secretarial work. She was employed at St. Nicholas
Hospital in admitting, Citizens Bank of Sheboygan in Human Resources and

Mary was a current member of St. Dominic Catholic Church, a former member of
the funeral choir at St. Dominic, a former Food Pantry volunteer at St. Dominic,
and was a volunteer for Meals on Wheels for over 40 years. Mary enjoyed
participating in various exercise classes, walking “the route” in her neighborhood,
biking, and hiking. She was an avid Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, and
Milwaukee Bucks fan. Over the years Mary and Tom traveled all over the United
States including Alaska and Hawaii as well as many European destinations. Mary
was extremely dedicated to her family. She especially loved attending anything that
involved her grandchildren. They were so very special to her and brightened her
days. Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law Sara (James) Opgenorth of
