Jane F. GuseBorn: May 16, 1932; in Plymouth Twp., WIDied: December 8, 2016; in Crystal Lake, ILJane F. (Kinna) Guse passed away on the 8th of December. It's always hard to say goodbye to one's mother, but especially hard when your mother was "Mother Goose."She was born on May 16th 1932, the third daughter of John and Mildred Kinna of Footville Wisconsin. She grew up on the family farm with her grandparents, parents, sisters and younger brother. Her passion was reading and it served her well as she graduated valedictorian of her high school. From there, she held a few jobs while she figured where her future would take her. In 1955, it took her into the arms of the love of her life, Elmer Guse, the man she would wed on the 20th of October 1956. Their honeymoon was a picturesque trip through the Smokey Mountains down to New Orleans, where they wined and dined through Arnaud's, Tujague's, Antoine's, the beginning of a beautiful journey. They then moved to Aurora Illinois and quickly started a family, having three boys in three years. They then moved to Crystal Lake where they immediately added a fourth son, a daughter and a final son. With the clan complete, surrounded by dear and lifelong friends, they lived their lives in the same house for 54 years. Our mother was a loving woman. She instilled her passion of reading into all her children, her cookies were both delicious and lucrative when trading at school. The neighborhood children congregated in her living room every morning before school, during the week to play games or watch TV, and she loved every minute of it. A very special person has passed, and though we are sad for our loss, we rejoice that her pain is over and she now has everlasting life in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her husband, Elmer and son, Timothy preceded her to the Lord. She is survived by beloved brother, John (Irene) Kinna; her children, Christopher (Cathie) Guse, Steven (June) Guse, James (Angela) Guse, Ann (George) Marcus, Matthew (Cristy) Guse, Lisa Guse and Ame Guse; her loving niece, Mary Ellen O'Leary; 13 grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren.Visitation will be from 4:00 to 7:00pm on Monday, December 12 at Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home, 500 W.
