Carol Louise Wickland

Carol Louise Wickland (Schieck), beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, was called to her heavenly home on March 15, 2024. She was 88.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 63 years, Kenneth, her parents Bernard (Ben) and Josephine Schieck, brother Bernard, sister Audrey and precious daughter Sally Jo.

She is survived by her children Kathleen (Michael) Plier, Susan (Chris) Allen, Edward (Susan) Wickland, Beth (Curt) Schultz and Mary (Bobby) Yun; grandchildren Taylor (Meagan), Paige, Sean, Kevin, Alexandria, Colton, Sydney, Logan (Melissa), Kylie, Leah, McKenna, Christian, Miles and Joshua; and great-grandchildren Flora and Hudson.

Carol was born on Jan. 6, 1936, in Milwaukee, Wis.

She graduated from Rufus King High School in 1953 and then worked as a secretary at Square D Corp. until meeting Ken and marrying on May 29, 1960.

Carol was a devoted wife, mother and Christian. She selflessly cared for her family and ran the Wickland household. She enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing and canning.

In the 1970s, she returned to work at Ozaukee Middle School performing secretarial work and also sold Avon.

Carol enjoyed spending time with her lifelong friends, card club group and traveling. She was also active in her church and enjoyed singing in the choir.

Carol was a devoted daughter and daughter-in-law to her parents and her in-laws, who all required extra care in their senior years. She also had a special place in her heart for each grandchild, great-grandchild and her nieces and nephew, Linda, Lisa, Deborah and Rick, as they all gave her great joy. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 21, at Suchon Funeral Home in Plymouth from 10 a.m. to noon with a memorial service to follow at noon. The Rev. Sara Gorman will officiate.

Carol and Kenneth will be laid to rest at a later date at Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Union Grove, Wis.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Carol to her church in Plymouth, Wis. Checks should be payable to “Redeemer Lutheran Church.”
