Obituary:
Elizabeth "Betty" Gerhartz, age 85, of Darboy, passed away on Saturday, August 19, 2017. She was born on December 1, 1931 in Wrightstown, Wisconsin to the late Dr. William and Anastasia (Walsh) McLaughlin. She graduated from Stockbridge High School. Betty was employed with the Appleton Post Crescent for about forty years as a typesetter.
Betty married Lyle Gerhartz on May 8, 1954 and they were blessed with four children. They moved to Darboy in the early sixties and they have made that home ever since. In addition to being proud to call Darboy home, Betty always took great pride in her Irish Heritage. In her spare time Betty enjoyed reading, crossword, word search and most recently lunch outings with her close friends. Betty loved her furry companions and cherished the company of her dear cat, Heidi. Above all her fondest memories are those spent with her family, especially her grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband, Lyle; her children, Tim (Mary Kay) Gerhartz of Appleton, Tammy (Mark) Haberman of Elm Grove and Greg (Cindy) Gerhartz of New London; eight grandchildren, Nick (Anna) Fahl, Evan (Kayla) Fahl, Dana Haberman, Cara Haberman, Scott Nelmark, Katelyn Gerhartz, Melany Gerhartz and Karli Gerhartz and her great grandchildren, Alexis and Anais Fahl.

Betty also leaves behind many other dear relatives and friends too numerous to list but never forgotten.
In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her in-laws, Lewis and Ruby Gerhartz; her daughter, Rebecca Fahl; her siblings, William McLaughlin, Robert McLaughlin, Gerald (Nancy) McLaughlin and Mary (Harry) Krueger; her sisters-in-law, Lula (Howard) Schoen, Armeila (Randy) Thiel and Irmine (Don) Denslow and her brothers-in-law, Delmar Gerhartz, Robert Perry, Jack Comerford and Gary Gerhartz.
