John and Corine Kulas

John and Corine Kulas, of Galloway, went to their heavenly home, surrounded by family in their home. Corine died on Monday, Sept. 2, 2024, at the age of 86. John joined Corine on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, at the age of 89. Corine was born on Oct, 18, 1937, in Oshkosh, the daughter of George and Wanda (Billington) Schuster. John was born on July 20, 1935, in the Town of Alban, the son of John Sr. and Katherine (Goskowicz) Kulas. On Nov. 11, 1961, John and Corine were united in marriage at Corpus Christi in Milwaukee. In 1964, the couple moved to Galloway and built their family home. Their home was filled with so much love and laughter throughout the almost 64 years of marriage. While it seemed like Corine and John were inseparable, they did find time for their own enjoyments. John enjoyed working outside on various potato farms and in his vegetable garden. He also loved to hunt and fish. Corine was an avid baker and enjoyed decorating cakes. She loved puzzles and framed many throughout the years. Faith and family were very important to John and Corine, and they cherished the time spent together. John and Corine are survived by four sons, Scott (Tracy) Kulas, of Rosholt, Donald (Lori Wagner) Kulas, of Iola, Ronald (Kelly) Kulas, of Crandon, and Patrick (Melissa) Kulas, of Iola; two daughters, Jane (Bill) Schroeder, of Marshfield, and Karen (David) Simonis, of Rosholt; 10 grandchildren, Jessica, Jacob, Colin, Billy, Joshua, Christopher, Bradley, Daren, Dylan and Samantha; eight great-grandchildren; John’s siblings, Agnes Worzalla, of Milwaukee, Anna Kizewski, of Milwaukee, Mary Ann Riley, of Sussex, and Barbara Konkol, of Rosholt; Corine’s siblings, George “Mike” (Mary) Schuster of Rosholt and Chris (Tom) Ziaja, of Rosholt; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives. John and Corine were preceded in death by their parents; John’s brothers, Harry, Stanley, Anton, Victor and Edward Kulas; John’s sisters, Margaret Wierzba, Caroline Bronk, Elizabeth Mlodik and Angeline Mortin; and Corine’s sister, Sylvia Beyer.
