Obituary for Carl Louis Zauche
Carl L. Zauche, 84, of Peosta, passed peacefully into life anew on Saturday, March 29, 2014. Visitation will be Friday, April 4th from 5-8 p.m. at St. Peter Lutheran Church, 3200 Asbury Rd, Dubuque. On Saturday, April 5th, visitation will be 10 a.m. followed by the funeral services at 11 a.m. at St Peter Lutheran Church.
Carl was born April 29, 1929, in Dubuque, Iowa and lived out his life on his family farm in Peosta. He received 8 years of education at the Johnson Schoolhouse, 2 years at Senior High School, and 2 Winter Quarters of Farm Operations at Iowa State University. Rosemary Shumaker and Carl were united in marriage on October 8, 1960 at the Evangelical United Brethren church in Olin.
Carl served on many county boards such as Cattlemen, Extension, Fairboard and Sunnycrest. He received recognition as “Boardmember of the Year” on the Dubuque County Fairboard for overseeing the construction of the 4-H beef buildings, “Hall of Fame” for the Dubuque County Cattlemen, and “Friend of Agriculture” at the Rural Ministry Conference. For the Dubuque County Cattlemen, he served as President and the Liaison with the Dubuque Area Chamber. He participated in Dale Carnegie courses and was a member of Toastmasters.
He spent his life as a steward of God’s creation and a Shepard of God’s people. With the farm, he had great pride in his beef operation raising Hereford cattle and later transitioning to Red Angus. He also enjoyed raising and eating garden produce, with a special appetite for strawberries.
He led through his word and his actions as a volunteer. He served as Evangelism chair at St. Peter, Property - Building Committee and Evangelism for Lord of Life, and helped with St. Mark Community Center and Bethany Auxiliary. He was a founding member at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and Grace Lutheran Church.
Carl is survived by his wife of 53 years, Rosemary; their 4 children, Dan (Jackie) Zauche of Peosta, Cindy (Doug) Recker of Peosta, Carl J. (Beth) Zauche of Hiawatha, and Tim (Geri) Zauche of Platteville; 12 grandchildren, Rob (Kaitlyn), Jacob, Ally, John, Josh, Madalyn Zauche , and Jared Woock, and Sarah (Mark) Wedige, and Vaughn, Andre, Nathan, Natalie Recker; and 2 great-grandchildren, Ella Wedige and Devon Zauche. Also surviving is a sister, Helen (Loren) Pahl and sister-in-law, Margaret (Dale) Clyde and 5 nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl A. and Emma Zauche.
The Egelhof, Siegert & Casper Westview Funeral Home and Crematory is in charge of arrangements.
On behalf of Carl, the family would like to thank the staff at Oak Park, Manor Care, Dubuque Nursing and Rehabilitation, Hospice of Dubuque, St. Peter, Lord of Life Lutheran and the Communion Visitors, and Dubuque Fellowship of Christ.
