Gary Scribner

Gary Lee Scribner, age 69, of Sheboygan went home to be with his Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, December 1, 2019 at the Sharon S. Richardson
Community Hospice. The son of Elmer and Marion (Lilla) Scribner was born
January 22, 1950 in Sheboygan. Gary attended Sheboygan schools and South
High School. He had various jobs in the area and in 1971 he met the love of his
life, Joanne Joslyn. They were united in marriage on October 6, 1979 at Bethel
Baptist Church in Sheboygan. During their 40 years together, their love and
devotion to each other and God would see them through many difficult times.
Despite his recent illness, they cherished their time together including their 40 th
anniversary. A man of strong Christian faith, Gary’s kindness and affection was
often bestowed to all those who he loved and tried to help. Gary’s sense of humor
kept him going when dealing with life’s obstacles and served him well through his
cancer treatments. He was a craftsman who enjoyed tinkering and fixing things,
sometimes creating ingenious homemade gadgets. His skills served him well as a
maintenance tech at Johnsonville Foods. Gary was an avid hunter, target shooter
and enjoyed the outdoors immensely.
Gary is survived by his loving wife, Joanne, his mother Marion Scribner of
Sheboygan, brothers and sisters Carol Brown of Sheboygan, Karen (Tom) Popelka
of Trevor, WI, Elmer Scribner Jr. of Sheboygan, Mary (John) Leonhardt of
Sheboygan, nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends.
