Angeline Clarice (Gunnlaugsson) Gauger

Angeline “Angie” C. Gauger, 97 of Sturgeon Bay, was called home on October 1, 2024, at Bayview Senior Care in Sturgeon Bay.

Angie was born June 19, 1927, on Washington Island, WI to the late Bjorn and Clara Gunnlaugsson. On June 21, 1947, she married Reginald Gauger of Fish Creek. He preceded her in death on May 22, 1995.        

Angie worked for Emerson Electric for 21 years. She was a member of the Sturgeon Bay Business Women, Bay View Lutheran Church and the VFW Post 3088 Auxiliary.

After her retirement, she kept herself busy with her many hobbies. She spent many hours doing the genealogy of her Gunnlaugsson family and that of the Gaugers. She was proud of the fact that she was able to trace nine generations on both sides. Angie was an avid reader, did a lot of knitting, sewing, crocheting, quilting and playing cards with her friends. Her great love was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would often comment, “They are what keeps me young.”
