Larry Herbert Schubring, 79, Wausau, died peacefully Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

Larry was born February 26, 1941 in Wausau to the late Herbert and Florence (Raduechel) Schubring.  Following his mother’s passing, his father remarried Larry’s stepmother, Percilla Schubring. He was a lifelong member of Zion Lutheran Church; being baptized and confirmed there as well as attending Zion Lutheran School and graduating from Wausau High School in 1959.  Larry faithfully served his country in the National Guard.  Larry married the love of his life, Marilyn Schuetz, on October 10, 1964 in Wausau.  The couple was blessed with three children: Scott, John and Julie.  Larry was a salesman for Motor Service and Supply in Wausau for 53 years.

Larry was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather.  One of his greatest joys was attending events that his children, grandchildren and nephews participated in. He never missed a sporting or musical event  for his children or grandchildren.  Larry was proud to be a member of the Wausau Elks Lodge 248 and played dartball for St. Stephen’s Church.  He was also an avid fan of the Packers, Badgers and Brewers. Family time was of utmost importance to Larry. Hunting, fishing and spending time at the cottage were favorite past times.
