Coral Lois Kurth

Coral Lois Kurth of Columbus passed away Thursday morning, May 13, 2021 at age 92. Coral was born in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, daughter of the late Reuben “Saxe” Schubert and Ramona “Mona” Mitchell. She was proceeded in death by her beloved husband, John “Jack” Kurth with whom she shared 60 years of marriage, and her sister, Ramona “Jeanne” Carman. Coral was an active member of St. Andrew Catholic Church. She was a unique, independent woman who had many talents. Coral was an avid reader, she taught herself furniture upholstery, tiling, and knitting; she knitted beautiful sweaters and Christmas stockings for her family. She loved the outdoors, especially lakes that reminded her of northern Wisconsin. Coral expertly drove the family boat so that her sons could waterski. She put her family first and she was very proud of her boys and their accomplishments. She will be greatly missed by her loving sons, Robert (Katie), James (Tricia), David, Richard (Kimberly) Kurth and Katie Redmond Kurth; 13 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren; and numerous extended family members and dear friends. Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 A.M. Friday, May 21, 2021 at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 1899 McCoy Rd., where family will receive those able to be present between 9:30 A.M. until the start of the service. Coral’s family would like to thank the memory care unit staff at Wesley Glen Retirement Community for the wonderful care support they gave to Coral.
