Joanna Christine (Laus) Schulz, 71, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 14th, 2022 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Joanna was born in Oshkosh and lived on her beloved Lake Winnebago for most of her life (with a brief stint in Milwaukee). Joanna held a Bachelor’s in education from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where she joined the Chi Omega sisterhood. She earned a Master’s degree in early literacy from Cardinal Stritch. Joanna devoted her public teaching career to early childhood and English language learners. In retirement, she ran Lake Street Bread, tended a spectacular garden, spent time with her neighbors, cherished her friends, and read books. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Bryan, her four children (Kate, Betsy (Ryan), Mary (Sam), and Karl) and three grandchildren (Grant, Meta, and Maggie). A memorial will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please take a dip in the lake, enjoy your garden, or hug your children close.
