Louis Knuth Obituary
Louis Knuth
As our father would say, "I woke up dead" on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at the age of 95.
Lou was the son of William and Marie (Bendene) Knuth. He was born and raised in Ableman (Rocksprings), WI.
While working at Badger Ordinance he met and fell in love with his wife, Shirley Landt. After graduating from UW Steven Point, he taught Junior High for two years in Wisconsin Dells. From teaching he became a Probation and Parole Agent for the State of WI. He served Grant, Iowa and Sauk Counties throughout his career.
He is survived by his two daughters: Shari Seymour and Mary (Ken) Knapp; daughter-in-law, Sally (Schneider) Knuth; four granddaughters: Betsy McKelvey, Katie Seymour (Luis Morone), Mackenzie (Jake) Marks and Sydney Knapp (James Watrud); and two great-granddaughters: Angie and Samie McKelvey. He was preceded in death by his son, Bryce W. Knuth, his sister, Esther (Knuth) Nimmow, and his wife, Shirley.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
The family would like to thank the Baraboo Hospice House for their exceptional care during his stay. The family would also like to thank Picha Funeral Homes for their guidance during this time.
The Picha Funeral Home and Crematory of Wisconsin Dells, WI assisted the family with arrangements. For online condolences and information, go to www.pichafuneralhome.com.

As a young criminal lawyer in the 80s, I had a fair amount of interaction with Probation officers. While many of them didn´t roll out the red carpet, Louie was one who was kind, and taught me so many things that would have otherwise taken me years to learn. He was always good to his clients, and he had the respect and admiration of everyone in the justice system. I know that he positively impacted many lives.
