  Laura Toms, Kaukauna, 96, passed away peacefully on Aug. 12, 2007, at St. Paul Home in Kaukauna. Laura was born Oct. 5, 1910, in Kaukauna, daughter of the late Willis and Dora (Kranhold) Knickerbocker. She attended school in Kaukauna through the tenth grade, and eventually married Jewell Toms on Jan. 19, 1934, in Waukegan, Ill. He preceded her in death on Aug. 24, 1986. Laura enjoyed a variety of crafts. Her special interest was knitting sweaters, suits, afghans, caps, mittens and most recently, dishcloths. She loved to please and care for others, especially babies and small children. She enjoyed baby-sitting, and did so well into her 80s. Music was a joy to her and she knew all the old favorite hymns by heart. Even though her vision was failing her, she didn't need a hymnal on Sunday morning. She knew all the words and said she "liked to make a joyful noise." Laura was also well-versed in the Holy Bible and could recite long passages from memory. Laura was a life-long, very active member of the United Methodist Church. Laura is survived by a son, Jim (Joyce) Toms, Rockford, Ill.; a granddaughter, Janice (Terry) Schlender, De Pere; a grandson, Joel Toms, Menomonie, Wis.; two great-grandsons, Tom Schlender and Dan Schlender; two sisters, Doris Mouser,Kaukauna, and Joyce Lueck, Appleton. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jewell; a daughter, Carol (Martin) Witt; a great-grandson, Glen Toms, and sisters, Ruth, Liva, and Eva, and brothers-in-law, Merle Mouser and Herman Lueck. A memorial service for Laura will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007, at PEACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, 2300 Wisconsin Avenue in Kaukauna, with the Rev. Tim Albrecht officiating. Inurnment will be in Highland Memorial Park. Friends may call at the church on Wednesday morning from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. FARGO FUNERAL HOME 400 W.
