Birth16 May 1941Elizabeth Jean Burbach was born on 16 May 1941 at Kieler, Grant, Wisconsin.
She was the daughter of Walter Henry Burbach and Marian Horn.
Death16 April 2026Elizabeth Jean Burbach died on 16 April 2026 at age 84 Elizabeth J. "Bette" Pickel, age 84, of Dubuque, IA, completed her earthly journey on April 16, 2026, at Stonehill Care Center while surrounded by her loving family. To honor Bette's life, a Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 3685 County HHH in Kieler, WI, with Rev. Thomas Kelley officiating. A visitation for family and friends will be held from 9:30-11:00 a.m. prior to the service at the church. Family and friends are invited to join in food and fellowship at Bette's Celebration of Life following the mass at 1:00 p.m. at Burkey's Bar and Grill, 10638 Key West Drive in Dubuque. Entombment will be in the Mount Calvary Cemetery Mausoleum at a later date. The Tri-State Cremation Center is humbly serving Bette's family.

Bette was born on May 16, 1941, in Kieler, WI, a daughter to Walter and Marian (Horn) Burbach. She possessed a kind and gentle spirit along with a love for family and friends which was continually on display. Bette eventually met and married the love of her life, Kenneth L. "Ken" Pickel and the two were blessed with 63 wonderful years together and 4 children of their own to love and nurture along the way. Ken was sadly called home ahead of her on September 29, 2023. She spent her working years primarily as an industrial seamstress with Frommelt Safety Products which eventually became Rite Hite, but she also invested her time and talents in the cafeteria at the Immaculate Conception School, as a bus driver, a cashier at the Iowa Greyhound Park, Advance Design and even as a real estate agent before moving into retirement. Bette made countless friends throughout her career and always gave her best in every position she held.

In her free-time, Bette seemed to lean into social events most of all. In her younger years, golf and dart leagues were consistently near the top of her list, and later in life an evening at the Moose Lodge was a welcomed event, but a warm sunny day at the beach would also suffice when the opportunities presented themselves. Bette and Ken also spent many summers together at the River of Lakes in Bagley, WI. A little quality time camping and fishing with family and friends was the perfect way to recharge while creating memories and friendships which would last a lifetime. As life progressed and her family grew, time with them by her side became her favorite places to be. Family gatherings were clearly her happy place, but even if a single grandchild alongside her was the most the day could offer, she was beyond content and satisfied. Bette was undeniably the "Best Cook in the World" for those who knew her well and many memories were made by simply gathering around her table. It's difficult to imagine a world moving forward without Bette's love and light shining so brightly and effortlessly upon all whom she loved and adored. Thank you, Bette, for being the best wife, mother and grandmother any of us could ever hope for and may the Lord grant you peace now and keep you safe in His loving arms until we all meet again.

Birth4 October 1937Kenneth Leroy Pickel was born on 4 October 1937.
Death29 September 2023He died on 29 September 2023 at age 85 Kenneth L. “Ken” Pickel, age 85, of Dubuque, IA, completed his earthly journey on September 29, 2023, at UnityPoint Finley Hospital while surrounded by his loving family. To honor Ken’s life, a Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, October 6, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 3685 County HHH in Kieler, WI, with Rev. Bernard Rott officiating. Full military honors will be accorded by the Dubuque Marine Corps League along with the active U.S. Army funeral detail following the service. Per Ken’s wishes, there will be no visitation. Family and friends are invited to join in food and fellowship at Ken’s Celebration of Life following the mass at Burkey’s Bar and Grill, 10638 Key West Drive in Dubuque. The Tri-State Cremation Center is humbly serving Ken’s family.

Ken was born on October 4, 1937, in Jamestown Township, WI, a son to Rudolph and Gertrude (Stumpf) Pickel. He grew up with a strong work ethic and a love for family, friends, and community that never wavered. After honorably serving his country with the U.S. Army, Ken returned home and eventually met and married the love of his life, Elizabeth “Betty” Burbach. The couple was blessed with many wonderful years together and 4 children of their own to raise and nurture. Ken spent over 41 faithful years with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Dubuque as he provided for his family at home. He was the epitome of the American Dream as he started his career with a delivery route, moved into maintenance, and in time became the General Manager before finally moving into retirement. His company loyalty ran deep and it was well known among his family and friends that if Ken has the opportunity to visit a restaurant or establishment who unfortunately did not serve Coca-Cola, it was very likely that he would be ordering a water and that was going to be his last visit to that location moving forward.

But, Ken was so much more than a company man. His devotion to his community was continually on display as well. He volunteered with countless organizations and sat on the boards of Albrecht Acres, Apple Canyon Lake, Moose Lodge, Holy Name, Jamestown Fire Department, as well as the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce just to name a few. He also generously gave his time and talents to countless events where the U.S. Veterans were involved, whether through fundraising, or simply providing the support and extra effort where it was needed most. Ken always enjoyed the outdoors as well and any time spent at Apple Canyon, camping over in Bagley, or even a relaxing day of hunting or fishing was considered to be a successful day in his eyes. And we can’t forget his love for a good euchre hand, or the opportunity to harass any unfortunate Bear’s fan in the vicinity, especially when his Packer’s and Badger’s were winning. Ken was an amazing husband, father, and grandfather above all and his ability to make friends wherever he went was inspiring to say the least. The world is truly a much smaller and lesser place today without Ken’s love and light shining brightly within it. The legacy he leaves behind will definitely help to heal the broken hearts he leaves behind as well in time and we are thankful that he is now entirely free form each and every earthly struggle that he has been facing with such bold bravery over these last years. Thank you, Ken, for being the best you anyone could ever hope for and may the abundance of memories which you leave behind provide the healing we seek until we all meet again.
