Maurice Hugo Lamers

Surrounded by love, Maurice Lamers of Wrightstown passed away peacefully on June 20, 2026, with his devoted wife at his side. Born on January 10, 1937, to the late John and Helen (Vanden Heuvel) Lamers, Maurice was rooted in faith, family, and service from the very beginning. He attended St. Paul’s Catholic School and St. Norbert High School in De Pere, Wisconsin. On October 3, 1961, he married the love of his life, Dallas (Gerow), and together they raised nine children—his greatest joy.

A proud American, Maurice honorably served his country from 1961 to 1962 and was a devoted member of American Legion Post 436. He spent his entire career working in construction, a profession he took great pride in until his retirement. He was deeply involved in parish life, serving on and leading numerous committees. For more than 50 years, he lovingly cared for the grounds of St. Paul Parish Catholic Cemetery—a quiet act of faith and service that reflected his humble nature, unwavering dedication, and deep sense of community. Above all else, Maurice cherished his family. Nothing brought him greater joy than watching it grow, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were truly the light of his life, filling his days with love, laughter, and immense pride.
