Loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, Clare Jane Lehmann, 83, of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, peacefully passed away on February 24, 2026.

Clare was born on December 9, 1943, to Edward and Mae Miller in West Bend, Wisconsin. Clare grew up the youngest of nine children in Kewaskum. Early in life, she attended Holy Trinity Catholic Grade School, where she became a lifelong parish member. During her time in school, Clare made lifelong friends and, in high school, met the love of her life, William (Bill) Lehmann, from Jackson, Wisconsin. Though they were young, Clare waited patiently for Bill while he was stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington with the U.S. Army. Shortly after Clare graduated from Kewaskum High School, she and Bill were married on December 29, 1962.

Clare and Bill built a beautiful life together, welcoming four children: Donna (Steve) Beck, Carol (Larry) Sabel, Bill (Nicole) Lehmann, and Mary (Sonny) Gogo. A proud grandma to 13 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, she was always present, attending school events, concerts, games, birthday parties, and weddings. To Clare, her family was her pride and joy, and she never passed up a moment to spend time together.

Clare went to work for her father at Miller’s Furniture Store, where she worked as an interior decorator alongside her sisters and brothers. Her career was also her passion, and every house felt like a home with her touch. Clare used her talents while serving Holy Trinity Catholic Church as a member of the decorating committee, making sure the church that was so integral to her life was beautiful for each holy season and throughout the remodel.

As if she wasn’t busy enough, Clare was an avid snowmobiler and longtime member of the Kewaskum Sno-Chiefs. Clare always enjoyed an adventure, whether it was snowmobiling through Yellowstone, riding on the back of a motorcycle, taking a European riverboat cruise, or riding along with Bill as they drove across the country with the Indy Racing League.

Clare will be lovingly remembered by her husband; children; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; sister, Isabelle Straub; sisters-in-law, Sharron (Ed) and Trish (Ted) Miller; and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the staff and nurses at New Perspectives for their care during Clare’s stay.
