Maryann P. Stuckel, age 94, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 14, 2026, at her home in Sheboygan, WI.
She was born in Belleville, IL on May 18, 1932, to the late Joseph and Anna (Schneider) Beckfeld. The family moved to Peoria, IL where Maryann grew up. She attended Academy of Our Lady Catholic high school and graduated valedictorian. In lieu of collage she opted to go to work for the Archdiocese of Peoria. On July 16, 1955, Maryann was united in marriage to John Stuckel in Peoria. The couple eventually settled in Normal, IL where they raised their 5 children. They were a founding family of Epiphany Catholic Church in Normal. While raising her children, Maryann started a career in banking, which ended with her retiring as CEO of Prairieland Federal Credit Union. After spending more than 50 years in Normal, Maryann and John moved to Sheboygan in 2014 to be closer to family. They made their home at Landmark Square Condominium and Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church became their spiritual home.
Maryann enjoyed gardening, golfing, sewing and cooking. Above all, Maryann treasured her faith and her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren meant the world to her and brought her so much joy. She will be deeply missed.
