Death25 September 2020Sylvia Agnes Layton died on 25 September 2020 at age 94 Sylvia Agnes (Layton) Laubmeier, age 94, passed away peacefully Sept. 25, 2020, at Maplewood of Sauk Prairie, Sauk City, WI. She was born June 7, 1926, in Paragould, AR, the youngest of six children, to the late Sylvester and Imma (Ballard) Layton.



After her mother, a few years later her father and then her stepmother all passed away early in Sylvia’s childhood, she lived with her very kind maternal grandmother, Pearl Ballard. At age 11, Sylvia moved closer to two of her brothers who had settled in the Spring Green, WI area. She eventually found a home on a farm near Plain, WI, with Ed and Celie Ederer, who became Sylvia’s loving surrogate parents.



Sylvia married Wilbert (Bill) Laubmeier on April 11, 1944, at St. Luke Catholic Church, Plain. For 23 years, Sylvia and Bill raised their five children on a farm five miles east of Plain where she enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, gardening, canning and lovingly caring for her family. In 1970, she and Bill moved to Sauk City, WI.

Sylvia found great joy in watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow, as well as bowling, playing Sheepshead, reading and watching sports. Above all else, though, she treasured her Catholic faith, spending countless hours praying, watching EWTN and the weekly Apostolate for Persons with Disabilities Mass.

Sylvia is survived by her children Ron (Peg) of Baraboo, Diane Frey of Sauk City and Joe (Kathy) of Madison; daughter-in-law Nancy (Larry) Huismann of Waunakee; and grandchildren Kim, Reg, R.J., Maria, Phyl, John, Angela, Seth, Justin, Travis, Andrew and Matt. She also leaves behind 16 great-grandchildren, one foster great-grandchild and two more great-grandchildren on the way.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill; children Phyllis and John; and son-in-law Dave Frey. Sylvia was the last living member of her family and was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Jim, Al and Finas; and sisters Effie Giesler and Christine Richards.

A private Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. at Divine Mercy Catholic Parish, 115 Madison St., Sauk City, with Fr. Jerry Zhanay presiding.
