    Our dear mother Michaeline Steffens (Faust) sadly passed away on December 11, 2022, at the age of 93. Michaeline was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be sadly missed. Michaeline was born on July 29, 1929, in Appleton Wisconsin, daughter of Michael and Leona (Wilpolt) Faust and lived most of her life in Kaukauna but most recently in Cottage Grove Wisconsin.

    Michaeline graduated from Kaukauna High School in the class of 1947. She married Richard A. Steffens on May 6, 1950, at Holy Cross church. Through the years she worked at Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co, Farmers & Merchant’s Bank and was the Executive Director Federal Housing Authority (Golden Venture Apartments) in Kaukauna. Michaeline was an avid volunteer with many organizations in the Kaukauna community, most notably with Holy Cross Church, 1000 Islands Environmental Center, Kaukauna Business & Professional Association, Kaukauna Community Hospital Authority, Meals on Wheels, St Vincent DePaul, and several other organizations and committees.

    Michaeline enjoyed playing cards, bowling and had a passion for knitting & crocheting, making many afghans for her children, grand and great-grandchildren along with beanies for newborn babies. She also enjoyed traveling with her husband Richard to the Badlands, Yellowstone and Branson MO, her brothers and sisters to Alaska, Hawaii and Door County along with friends Floyd (Bucko) and Ethyl Draeger to Pelican Lake.

    Michaeline is survived by her daughter and sons: Michele (Howard) Bush of White Pigeon Michigan; Keith (Kris) Steffens of Auburn California; Kevin (Donna) Steffens of Cottage Grove Wisconsin; Ken Steffens of Midwest Oklahoma; Tom (Sue) Steffens of McFarland Wisconsin and Tim (Amy) Steffens of Whitmore Lake Michigan. She is also survived by her brother Harold (Helen) Faust of Gig Harbor Washington; sisters: Helen Diekvoss of Rhinelander Wisconsin, and Joanne (John) Mau of Kaukauna Wisconsin, as well as her 14 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband Richard Steffens, sister Roberta (Sister Leone) Faust, brothers Neil (Lois) and Leo (Bev) Faust, brother-in-law Fritz Diekvoss and a great-granddaughter.

    The family would like to thank the staff at Drumlin Reserve Assistive Living Community and UW Hospital D4/6 unit for their support and care of Michaeline.

    A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 22, 2022, at Holy Cross Church, 309 Desnoyer Street, Kaukauna. Visitation will be at the church on Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery.

    In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Michaeline’s name to the 1000 Island Environmental Center in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. https://1000islandsenvironmentalcenter.org/
