Aldon M Korth

Stockbridge WI

Aldon Mayo Korth of Stockbridge, WI, died peacefully on August 11, 2025, at Woodside Lutheran Nursing Home.

He was born in Rochester, MN, on June 30, 1926, to Alex and Mabel (Maas) Korth, and was brought up on a cheese factory in Harrison, Calumet County. He was baptized at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, Appleton, and confirmed there in 1940.  After graduating from Menasha High School in 1944,  he enlisted as a pharmacy mate in the US Navy Medical Corps and trained as a Clinical Laboratory Technician at Corona and Oceanside in San Diego.  Upon discharge he attended the UW Menasha and worked as an orderly at Theda Clark Hospital in Neenah. This is where he met a beautiful young nurse and the love of his life, Helen Munsche. They married in 1951 and were each other’s best friend for 66 years until her passing in 2017. He graduated from Kahler Methodist School of Nursing, Rochester, MN, in 1953, and worked  at Green Bay Correctional Institution as a Registered Nurse. The family lived in Allouez and were members of Faith Lutheran Church.  In 1978, they moved to their retirement home on Lake Winnebago in Stockbridge.  There, they joined St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, near Chilton, and were active in many church activities, grew in their faith, and enjoyed the fellowship, friendship and love of their St. Luke’s family. During retirement they enjoyed their time on the lake, toured the U.S. and Canada in their RV and spent winters in Rockport-Fulton Texas. 

His greatest joy was being with his family and sharing his faith. He enjoyed camping, traveling, RVing, fishing, hunting, and gardening.  Aldon could  fix or make almost anything. No project was too big for him to attempt, including doing the carpentry, masonry, cabinets and plumbing in their retirement home.  He took pride in refinishing furniture and making things, especially repurposing old wood or metal.  

Aldon is survived by his children: Randall (Judith) Korth, Roxanne (Randall) Dyle both of Green Bay, Bryan (Susan) Korth, Saginaw, MI; grandchildren: Karlene (Christian Vargas) Dyle, Madison, WI, Korissa (Vincent) Zanrosso, Imperial Beach, CA;  great-grandchild: Mateo Vargas; cousin: Marion Kamba; nieces, nephews, other family and friends, including dear friends Robie, Jill and his heavenly angel, Kim, who helped him stay in his home for as long as he did.  He loved you all dearly.  A special thank you to the wonderful staff at Woodside Lutheran Home and the Bellin Health LTC team who gave him such kind care this past year. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, sister, Althea Abitz, many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and other wonderful friends and relatives. 

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church (W3102 Killsnake Rd.) near Chilton. Friends may call from 9:30 am until 11:00 am at the church prior to service. Internment will take place in the parish cemetery following the funeral ceremony.
