Ronald H. Schoenwetter

Ronald H. Schoenwetter, 88, of Reeseville passed away peacefully on Friday, October 24, 2025 at Rainbow Hospice in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin.

Ronald was born on October 27, 1936 the son of Harvey and Viola (Schultz) Schoenwetter.  He was a 1954 graduate of Juneau High School.  On June 6, 1959, he was united in marriage with Phyllis Greinert at Zion Lutheran Church in Clyman, Wisconsin. Ron had been employed for over 40 years at the Dodge County Highway Department, retiring as a supervisor.

Ronnie proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1955 – 1958. He continued his dedication to fellow veterans and generously donated his time and talents to the Lowell VFW Post 9392 serving as its Commander, Military Honors Drill Squad and other roles throughout his lifetime.  He also spent years as a volunteer at the Madison VA Hospital helping veterans to their appointments. Ron was also a charter member of the Reeseville First Responders.

Ronnie loved nature and was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish.  He enjoyed his home in the country which allowed him to watch the deer and birds that were plentiful in his backyard and Buddy his cat, was always nearby.

His faith was important to him as well.  He attended Lowell United Church of Christ his entire life and was active on consistory.  Going to breakfast after church with the other parishioners was a highlight of his Sundays.
