Alice M. Rothe

Alice M. Rothe, 94, Green Bay, entered eternal life with Jesus Christ on Thursday, October 12, 2023. An Oshkosh native and resident the first 88 years of her life, she was born May 21, 1929, to Arthur and Minnie (Pauls) Reinke. She married Oscar Rothe Jr. in Oshkosh on October 20, 1962. Prior to their marriage, she worked for Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She was a long-time member of Zion Lutheran Church. She enjoyed word search puzzles, watching TV, yelling at the Brewers and Packers when they played badly, and spending time with her family (especially being Gigi to little Leighton). She loved her anise candy and Rippin’ Good cookies, and at anyone’s birthday party, it was a family tradition for her to sing “Birthdays Come But Once a Year” to the guest of honor after everyone sang “Happy Birthday to You”.

Alice is survived by her daughter Dawn (Tim) Luker, Green Bay; grandchildren Brittany (Anthony) Catalano, Little Chute; Melanie Luker (Chelsea Neubecker), Seattle, WA; and Jordan Luker, Green Bay; great-granddaughter Leighton Catalano, Little Chute; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Oscar Rothe Jr., on November 5, 2017; her parents; brothers Elmer (Melva), Edward, Robert (Rose), and Earl “Blub” (Amber); and sisters Dorothy Reinke and Lorraine (Donald) Marx.

A service for Alice will be held at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home, 402 Waugoo Avenue, Oshkosh. Visitation will take place at the funeral home on Wednesday from 2:00 pm until the time of service.

Dawn, Tim, and the entire family extend their thanks to the staff at Edenbrook Green Bay for the excellent and compassionate care Alice received during the past year that she was a resident there. We know that many of you will miss her good nature and sharp wit.
