Gloria Theresa McCarty

Gloria Theresa McCarty, 93, formerly of the Town of Ashford, passed away peacefully Friday, May 12, 2023, at Froedtert West Bend Hospital. She was born on August 9, 1929, in Milwaukee, the daughter of Bernard and Loretta (nee Liebel) Grohall. The family moved to West Allis when Gloria was three years old. She spent all her summers growing up with her Grandma Liebl at her cottage on Round (now Kettle Moraine) Lake. She graduated from West Allis Central High School in 1947 and met her future husband, John, at Lake Resort when on vacation in 1949. On October 20, 1951, Gloria was united in marriage to John F. “Bud” McCarty by Gloria’s uncle, Rev. Edward Grohall, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in West Allis. They moved to the family farm in 1955, a great adjustment for Gloria. She loved sewing, knitting (making many sweaters), gardening and swimming. Gloria was also an avid reader and an excellent cook and baker; the McCartys never had trouble hiring farmhands as they all greatly enjoyed Gloria’s meals.

Survivors include her children, Thomas (Sharon), Kevin (Christel), Beth (Joseph) Stoffel, Amy (Randy) Geiger and John P., all of Campbellsport; her grandchildren, Jennifer (Jim) Guell, Joshua (Elissa) Stoffel, Jeffrey Stoffel (Jenna), Ian (Jill) Stoffel, Laura Stoffel (Eric), Melissa McCarty, Nathan (Aimee) McCarty, Megan McCarty, Sarah (Justin) Hamilton, and Rebecca (Julio) Alonzo; many great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; brother, Bernard Grohall; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Gloria was preceded in death by her parents; husband, John “Bud”; sister, Bernice (Peter) Sparacino; brother, Robert (Judy) Grohall; and sister-in-law, Nancy Grohall.
