Monica Mavis Knuth

April 27, 1927 — October 18, 2022

Monica M. Knuth (Moni), found eternal peace, in the arms of God, during the early morning of October 18, 2022, at her home, at Hartland Terrace, in Hartland, WI.

She was born on April 27, 1927, at St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac, WI, the daughter of Oscar and Elizabeth (Friemark) Foat, named after her delivery nurse. Prior to moving to Hartland, she lived in Waukesha, WI, for 40 years, and previous years in Genesee Depot, and Genesee, WI. She loved her family, and since the passing of her late husband, of 27 years, Robert (Bob) Knuth) in September 2015, her family became the center of her world. Monica and Bob, loved to travel many places together, and loved to dance. She will be deeply missed by her family, and friends.

Monica is survived by her loving children, Karen (Dominic) Frinzi of Palmyra, WI, Wendy Kohlhaas of Dousman, WI, Bryan Kohlhaas (Rhonda Kuzba) of Pewaukee, WI, Penny (Mike) Fosholdt of Palmyra, WI, Heidi (Tom) Schoknecht of Oconomowoc, WI, and brother, Chet (Denise) Foat of Parker, CO. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Nick (Sandy) Frinzi, Gabe Smith, Rhianan Smith, Miranda Smith, Eric (Cyndi) Fosholdt, Liz Fosholdt, Laurie (Micah) Eldridge, Joe (Susan) Kohlhaas, Jay (Danelle) Kohlhaas, and Tom (Clarise) Schoknecht. Along, with her grandchildren, she leaves behind, 14 great-grandchildren, and 1 great great-granddaughter.

In addition to her family, she is survived by her step-children, Rick (Debbie) Knuth, Bobbie Lou (Mike) Copeland, step-grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren, step-great great-grandchild, amongst other relatives, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert (Bob) Knuth, her 2nd husband of 27 years, Arthur Kohlhaas, her 1st husband of 35 years, 2 granddaughters, 7 brothers, and 1 sister, along with many other relatives and friends.

The family would like to extend a very warm heartfelt thank-you, to the caring staff and volunteers, of Hartland Terrace, who welcomed mom, and us in as family, in April 2021.

She will be missed by many, and as she would say to us lately, "It is, what it is". Mom gave it her all, these past few months.

A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, October 28th at Yonke and Son funeral home, 205 Prospect Avenue in Pewaukee, WI. Visitation is from 10:30 am until 12:30 pm, and services at 12:30. A Christian burial will follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be directed to the family, or a favorite charity of your choice, in Monica's name.
