FOND DU LAC - The McCrary family of Fond du Lac will never be the same after the loss of three family members within six months’ time.

First to go was John McCrary, 78, on Nov. 5. He was a decorated military veteran who did four tours of Vietnam, loved camping, Timber Rattlers games and weekly lunches with his retired buddies.

His wife, Denise, followed on Nov. 29. She was 73and, as her obituary said, mustered all her “Irish strength” to battle COVID-19, but it wasn’t enough. The couple just missed celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Their nephewShawn McCrary says the blows just kept coming as he watched his father, Anthony, 77, fall ill, and succumb to the virus on Feb. 9. He describes his father as a patriot, a Navy man who taught Sunday school kids and cub scouts and loved to take his family on cross-country excursions.

“He was a fantastic dad who made sure we traveled a lot and our butts were in church on Sundays,” Shawn said.

Now, it’s hard forhim to adjust to suddenly becomingthe oldest surviving male in the McCrary family. The deaths wiped out half of that generation in his family.

The losses leave him wondering about the unfairness of it all, because his family took precautions, like wearing masks and cleaning surfaces. They thought they were doing everything right.

"It's been such a sad, painful time for our family, and my heart goes out to everyone who has had to gothrough this," Shawn said.

'We work hard every day to prevent one more death'

With a population of a littleover 103,000 people, Fond du Lac Countyis predominantly rural, with small towns and villages spread out across sweeping farmland. It's a place where the Midwest mindset of family comes first.It's a place where neighbors help neighbors, and the sorrowed loss of loved ones ripples through tight-knit communities

Health Officer Kim Mueller is among the thousands of county health officers nationwide who were thrust head-first into an unprecedented pandemic that kept taking lives.

As fatality numbers continued to rise, Mueller was tasked with keeping track of the county'slosses, each one someone's brother or sister, mother or father, friend or co-worker.

“This is a hard subject for me, which I’m sure is hard for many," Mueller said."Never in my wildest dreams could I have dreamt that we would need to discuss such a private subject in such a public manner."

"I appreciate taking this time to remember each and every person who lost their life to such a devastating disease. I reflect on the pain this disease has caused so many friends and families. These unfortunate deaths is why myself and my team do what we do. We work hard each day to hope to prevent even one more death from occurring. It’s a really good reminder for all. We can all work together to lessen the spread of the virus and save lives.”

Why we're remembering those we lost

There is no memorial yet for those thecounty lost during the pandemic, so The Reporter would like to listtheir names and help to remember who they were.

“As the pandemic began to crawl across Wisconsin, we heard time and again from readers and community members in the comments section on social media, on the phone and in person that we were lying about the severity at least, if not also the existence, of the pandemic,” said Taima Kern, editor of The Reporter. “Meanwhile, we heard of people being yelled at in public for catching the virus, and from others reluctant to admit to being sick or talk about their experience.

"This is one of the reasons recording and reporting of each death has been so important for us. Silence and stigma are dangerous. Information is important. It helps each person decide if the risk of their actions is worth it or not.”

The Reporter initially tried to identify each person who had passed away, to help attach an identity to the statistics. However, not everyone agreed, and staff were met with anger from family members who didn’t want the information released so quickly.Soon, those family members connected with the county health department, as well.

“When the county health department stopped releasing the names of those who passed away, we were disappointed, but we understood. I’d hate to read that a loved one died before someone in my family let me know," Kern said."We are grateful, however, that the department agreed to release the information now, in honor of the pandemic’s anniversary. These people may be but 0.1%of the community, but they were 100% of someone’s life. They were part of our community. They will be sorely missed.”

The following is a list of the 100 residents who were confirmed by the health department as having died from COVID-19 as of March 18 — 365 days after the first death was reported. It is not a complete list, as the health department coordinates with Wisconsin Department of Health Services to provide statistics that may be delayed due to testing.

For more information on these community members, links to available obituaries are provided. Purchase of an obituary through the serving funeral home is the decision of each individual's family.
