Koral Lynn Howard, 70, of Green Bay, fell asleep in the arms of Jesus on Monday, December 19, 2022. In her last moments, she was lovingly surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Koral was born on October 18, 1952, to Vincent and Loraine (Diekfuss) Howard in Waukesha, WI. The Howards moved to Wausau in 1965. Koral was part of the last class to graduate from Wausau High School in 1970. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from UW-Stevens Point.

Koral had a great zest for life. She enjoyed the many years living close to her siblings. She was a caring and thoughtful mother, grandmother, and sister. She was always up for adventures in traveling, loved listening to music, playing guitar, and enjoyed working with people. This led her to start her own closet designing business that ran successfully for several years in the Wausau area. Then, after her children were grown, she moved to Madison to live and work as a marketing and activities director for a large assisted living facility. In retirement she volunteered her time coordinating activities for the elderly.

Koral spent her remaining years at an assisted living facility in Green Bay close to family. She handled her many health challenges with dignity and grace. Even as her health declined, she never lost her sweet disposition and was well liked by residents and staff. One staff member referred to her as 'her angel'.

She is survived by her children: Jarret (Jennifer) Treu of Green Bay and Shana Treu of Madison; grandchildren: Lydia and Natalie Treu of Green Bay, and Landon Renz of Madison; and her sisters: Karen (Michael) Morrisey of Hewitt, Krystal (Gerald) Knapp of Wausau, and Kim (Scott) Reynolds of Reno, NV. She was preceded in death by her parents Vincent and Lorraine, and brothers Keith and Kurt.

Funeral services will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 14, 2023, at Zion Lutheran Church, Aniwa. Visitation will be held from 10 AM until the time of the service. The Rev. Ryan Fehrmann officiating. Burial will be in Forestville Cemetery of Ringle at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
