Granada Loberta Marie (Dinse) Laube Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Granada Loberta Marie Dinse was born to Herman and Pearl (Giese) Dinse on August 11, 1917. She died on September 22, 2014 at age 97. She married Elzie V. Laube August 1, 1939. Elzie died March 3, 1971. They had five sons, Elzie, Jr. (Irene), Hillsborough, NC; Neil (Mary Jo), Junction City, WI; Mark (Anita [deceased]); Scott (Mary); and Brian, all of Brodhead; eleven grandchildren, Eric (Tina) Laube and Alexander (Brittany) Laube; Heather (Shane Clary) Laube, Isaac (Kim) Laube, Natasha (Lane) Wetterau and Trina (Kurt Miller) Laube; Jessica (Tim) Moe, William and Jonathan Laube; Evan (Cindy) Laube and Brianna (Phillip) Duran; one step- grandson, Matthew (Shana) Burr; and the pride of her old age, great grandchildren Parker Laube, Henry and Miles Burr, Paxon Laube Clary, Adyson and Leah Wetterau, Taya Miller and two deceased, Korbin and Asher Moe. Granada lived a full life, and touched many people through her work as a country school teacher; with over forty years as a 4-H leader; as town assessor; census taker; and in local, county, district and state offices of Extension Homemakers. She held many offices in the Methodist Church and United Methodist Women, and was always involved with her children�s school and activities. While their children were young, the family camped all over the US and Canada. After her husband�s death in 1971, Granada took many trips with the People-to-People organization, first to Russia, then the Orient, Kenya, Israel, Cuba and China. She went to the Holy Land three times, and especially enjoyed observing the archeological discoveries unearthed between her visits. Her last foreign trip was to South America. She regretted never seeing the active volcanoes in Hawaii. She took many photos and shared them as much as time allowed. Granada was always interested in education. Her family also hosted an AFS student from the Malagasy Republic. Granada was involved in tutoring reading for adults. Granada was frustrated as advancing age took the skills that had sustained her busy life, but she was ready to explore the new place God had prepared for her soul. Her only regret was that she wouldn�t be able to publish a book about her adventures there. Granada hopes that family, friends and relatives will gather at the D.L. Newcomer Funeral Home, Brodhead, WI, on Saturday, October 4, 2014 from 10-11 a.m. to visit and remember her, followed by a brief service and a private interment at Greenwood Cemetery, Brodhead, WI. Following the interment there will be a fellowship at the Bank of Brodhead, starting at noon. Memorials may be made to the organization of the donor�s choice.
