Anita Ruth Rubach, 96, passed away peacefully on Friday, Nov. 4, 2022, surrounded by her children.
Anita was born in Burlington on March 18, 1926, to Oscar and Gertrude (nee Newbury) Uebele. She grew up on a farm near Bohners Lake, graduated from Burlington High School “Class of 1944” and Milwaukee School of Cosmetology in 1945.
Anita married John “Joe” Rubach on Sept. 27, 1947 at Wisconsin Lutheran Church in Kenosha. Following marriage, they made their home at Bohners Lake and were blessed with 62 years of marriage before Joe’s death on Dec. 22, 2009.
Anita was an active member of Bohners Lake Homemaker’s Club and the organizer of Bohners Lake 4-H Club. She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Burlington, a past member of their bell choir and a volunteer at Burlington Hospital. She loved birds and gardening, but her greatest joy was being Joe’s wife, a mom, a grandma and a great-grandma. She took interest in and enjoyed their many activities.
