Elayne was a lifelong bridge player-she absolutely loved to play cards. She was a great cook and dessert maker, loved to socialize (on the phone) and of course she loved to shop.
Elayne was a lifelong member of St. Mary Catholic Church and was dedicated to her faith. She had a loving smile and a warm heart for every person she ever met throughout her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her even those who only knew her a short time at Brookdale.
Elayne is survived by her son David Schabow, grandchildren Brianna and Conner and their mother Michele Schabow, sisters Grace Wege and Carole Ristow. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Stumpf, Richard Wege and Leo Muraski. And most recently by her son Robert Schabow, who passed away on April 14, 2018.
The funeral liturgy will be at 12:00 Noon on Friday, July 6, 2018 at ST. MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 312 South State Street, Appleton, with Fr. William Swichtenberg officiating.
