Maria and Randy Knickmeier were joined in marriage on July 27, 1985, at St. Ann Catholic Church in Stoughton. They made their life together on Randy's family farm on Highway W while Maria also pursued a successful career in finance at Cuna and Affiliates in Madison, from 1989 to 2010. While Maria's accomplishments were many, what mattered most to her was the life she shared with Randy and their daughter, Rachael. Maria, along with Randy, avidly and enthusiastically participated in the many activities Rachael embraced throughout her childhood and high school years. You could always count on seeing Maria backstage at dance, on the sidelines at softball or in the stands at volleyball happily cheering for Rachael and her teammates. Rachael, and all that she is, gave Maria the most enjoyable and memorable moments of her life. Maria enjoyed traveling and made many happy memories with Randy and Rachael, and also with her sisters on their girls' getaways, the volleyball families as they followed the Midwest Juniors and the many trips she shared with other family and friends. Maria enjoyed her flower gardens, a good game of Scrabble, a hand or two of Euchre or Cribbage, the special time she shared with her nieces and nephews, or just curling up with a good book. She was also active in volunteer work at St. Ann's School, Nazareth House and the Stoughton Senior Center. Maria loved her family and friends unconditionally and never missed an opportunity to show it. Her laugh was infectious. Hearing it made you smile and want to share the fun. Maria will be loved, missed and never forgotten by the people whose lives she touched.
