Shirley Langteau

Shirley M. Langteau, our beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and friend went home to spend eternity in rest with her Lord and Savior on November 2, 2020, after a lengthy difficult battle with Lewy Bodies Dementia.

Shirley was born on May 1, 1930, the daughter of John and Nellie (Shepard) Knoll in Milan. She was united in marriage to Arthur Langteau on July 12, 1947. As a longtime resident of Abbotsford, Shirley is survived by her brother, Delbert “Sonny” Knoll (Darlene); sisters: Alice Tischendorf and Evelyn Courchaine; children: Sheryl (Bob) Mengel, Dennis (Bev) Langteau, Allen Langteau, Vicki (Bob) Spindler, Jim (Joy) Langteau, Cathy Osborne, Sandy (Bob) Warner, Lori Langteau; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

She now joins her husband, Arthur “Artie” Langteau; her daughter, Karen (Rodney) Orth; and sister, Dorothy Anderson, who preceded her in death.

Most recently, Shirley had been a resident of Copperleaf Assisted Living in Schofield, but prior to that, she lived and worked in the Abbotsford area all her life. She was so happy to be involved in the Abbotsford Elementary School as a volunteer grandma and was an active member of Saint Bernard Catholic Church in Abbotsford.Shirleywasalsoamemberof the Colby VFW Women’s Auxiliary Post #2227.
