Abby was born the daughter of Larry and Marcia (Damstra) Lubbert on October 6, 1978 in Columbus. She was a graduate of Hartford High School. Abby honorably served her country in the US Army and served in Iraq from 2003-2005 as a combat medic and then continued her service in the national guard until 2008. Abby was united in marriage to Mitch Sauer on June 8, 2013 in Pelican Lake, Wisconsin. She continued her nursing career at Hartford Hospital. Abby then took the position of Dodge County Public Health Officer during the pandemic and was remarkable in her position during an impossible public health emergency. Abby was currently employed at SSM Health in Beaver Dam in family practice as a triage nurse. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Lomira and an active member of the Miller-Justman-Guelig American Legion Post #270 in Theresa, as well as, the Legion Auxiliary in Theresa. Abby had a giant heart and would help anyone who asked. She was quick to volunteer and always gave a hundred percent in anything she took on. She was involved with the Lomira Booster Club and the Boy Scouts of America. She loved living an active lifestyle and enjoyed running, swimming, and biking. Abby also had a love for the outdoors and looked forward to camping trips. Travel also was near and dear and she was fortunate enough to travel to Germany, India, Greece, Ireland, Mexico, and Jamaica.

First and foremost for Abby was her love of family. She was always there for them, whether it be a wrestling tournament for her son Warren or to help her father split wood and bale hay. There was nothing that could stop her from being with those who she loved and always made sure that others felt that love as well.

Abby is survived by her husband Mitch of Theresa. Her children- Warren and Veronica. Her parents- Larry and Marcia Lubbert of Hartford. Her siblings Wyland Lubbert of Oshkosh, Otis Lubbert of Hustisford, Amanda (Shawn) Bartel of Aberdeen, SD., Julie (Rich) Steinbrink of Driftwood, TX., and Joshua (Kaiti) Lubbert of Rubicon. Her half sister Stacy Robinson of York, PA. Her in laws- Jim and Barb Sauer of Theresa. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, brother in law Andrew Sauer, and niece Lexi Held.

Memorials may be directed to Baggin’ for a Cure (https://www.facebook.com/BagginforaCure/) or the Miller-Justman-Guelig American Legion Post #270.

Very sad to hear this news. Very sad. Coached Veronica’s soccer and baseball teams.

We loved Abby & send sympathy & prayers to her family.
When Abby was deciding on a wedding dress,she had a few picked out & we
( public health peeps) were all weighing in with our opinions. Then,voila!, the perfect dress arrived from Goodwill in Texas , courtesy of her sister. We were anxious to see if it was worth the hefty price tag ( $ 10?), so Abby brought it to work & modeled it for us. In addition to glowing with happiness & excitement over her upcoming marriage, she now had THE dress & looked so darling and sweet in it !

Abby was a tremendous public health leader during COVID. Her genuine sense of care and perseverance never waivered amidst the politicalness of the times - always keeping best practice and practicality at the forefront. She will be missed greatly, but her leadership and disposition will live with me forever. Our deepest sympathies to her family. We are here for you.

Abby was an amazing leader for our County as she led schools through the Pandemic. She led with confidence and expertise. Abby cared deeply about those in her care. As she navigated the unknown for us, she did it with grace. She will be deeply missed as a colleague and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family as they learn to navigate life with her as their angel. Abby, your light will continue to shine, you made a difference to many.

Where do I begin? Abby and family were part of our families life for many years. Swim team, prom, church, we loved her and I can not imagine the pain you are all feeling. I am praying for all of your strength. Abby had a smile a person will never forget. We live in Florida or we would be there to give you all a hug. So sad and shocking. Hugs and Prayers to you all.

Abby was a beautiful person, and I will miss her. She inspired and encouraged me to run my first half marathon. She had many fitness friends who joined her early morning group workout sessions - running the "Dam" stairs as part of our training! Pushed me to do just a few more flutter kicks at the TAG and always had a smile on her face. My condolences.

With deepest gratitude for Abby's service and condolences to her family.

Abby was always up for joining me for a new activity and did such an amazing job wearing so many hats in her life. I am thankful to have known her.

What a great church friend. I enjoyed our talks around the big table after services on Sunday. God has a plan and I am very sorry for us and your family. You will be missed. God Bless you Abby. Chuck Rhein
