Victoria A. (Kraus) Schrab, 97, of Juneau, passed away surrounded by her family on Thursday, May 22, 2025.
A visitation will take place on Saturday June 7, 2025, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Clyman, with a memorial service immediately following at 11:30 a.m., Father Nick Dhein officiating.
Victoria was born on September 2, 1927, in Fond du Lac to Paulina and Peter Kraus. She graduated from high school in Fond du Lac at age 16 and worked in the office of a department store for three years. She was united in marriage with Raymond Schrab on April 29, 1947, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Victoria loved the dairy farm she and Raymond raised their ten children on. Victoria was a brilliant, resourceful woman with a keen mind throughout her life. She was the first female member of the Hustisford Town Board, serving as Treasurer from 1967-1969. After her children were grown, she also worked as a teacher’s aide at the elementary school in Clyman, and later as an administrative assistant at Brandt, Inc. in Watertown. She enjoyed songbirds, crocheting, completing crossword puzzles in pen, thrift shopping, and sending cheery notes covered in smiley stickers. She was a fierce competitor in Scrabble to the end. In her later years most of all she loved quietly spending time with her family. A visit or card from her special friends Maggie, Mardee, Eileen and sister-in-law Dorothy lit her face like sunshine.
Victoria is survived by her 2 daughters, Geralyn “Geri” (Bob Blankenhagen) Schrab, Paulette (Scott) Daniels, 5 sons, Raymond (Debra) Schrab, Jr., David (Rhonda) Schrab, Geoffrey (Cindy) Schrab, Greg (Susan) Schrab, Kevin (Beverly) Schrab, daughter-in-law Caryl Schrab; daughter-in-law Lena Magne Schrab, son-in-law Timothy Clark, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a great-great grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her parents Peter and Paulina, son Edward (Caryl) Schrab; Randy (Lena) Schrab; daughter Annette (Tim) Clark, sister Elizabeth (Kraus) Wettstein, and brothers George, Oscar, Herman and Peter Kraus.
If desired, memorials may be directed to the Gathering Source, W7115 State Road 16-60, Juneau, Wisconsin, 53039, or St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Clyman. The family would like to thank the staff at the Prairie Ridge Hospital, Columbus, for their care and compassion.

When I learned of Mom’s passing, the first thought was of about 50 years ago, when her beloved sister Elizabeth, us kids’ Aunt Lizzie, passed away so unexpectedly. Aunt Lizzie had just visited the farm that Saturday afternoon, full of life as ever, yet passed away that evening. The next morning we were out on the front porch, getting ready to leave for early church. Mom, with tears in her eyes, said she had something to tell us kids, that Aunt Lizzie had passed away.
We love you and miss you dearly Mom. But now you and your sister Lizzie are back together.

Dear family and friends,
The loss of a parent is devastating, but the loss of a mother is unimaginably painful. After all, she gave me life, taught me right from wrong, raised me to be a good person, and was always my biggest supporter and cheerleader. 📣
I can remember Mom coming to my cross country meets, standing on the race course, the look of anticipation on her face as I prepared to race, her standing up as I sprinted closer to the finish line 🏁, with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.
Yes. She was always my cheerleader. As Mom transitioned from this life to the next, I’m standing up, with a smile on my tear stained face, a twinkle in my eyes, cheering her on to meet Dad, Edward, Randy and Annette.
I’m not saying goodbye Mom, I’m saying, one day we will all be together again!
With much love and gratitude for all you have given me. I will truly miss you.
Your son,
Kevin J. Schrab

Congo squares, delicious zucchini bread, that amazing salad made with lettuce from her garden, homemade elderberry jelly, the barn kitties she loved, her love of Wheel of Fortune, her beautiful crochet work, all the cards she sent over the years, her love of thrift store shopping, Friday night fish fries when we’d visit, and how she would always say “home again, home again jiggity jog” when we would bring her back home to the farm after going out with her … just a few of my fond memories.
You are loved and missed, Mom Schrab.
