Denis E. Floyd

Heaven has gained another angel … after a long illness Denis Floyd entered his heavenly home on January 22, 2026. Born on November 6, 1947, Denis was well-known and well-loved throughout the places he called home in the Fox Valley and Las Vegas.

Affectionately known as “Fonz” or “Cowboy,” Denis had a larger-than-life personality. His humor, infectious chuckle, and endless stories brought joy to everyone around him. He was a natural entertainer, always ready with a good joke or a tale that left his listeners smiling. He was a man of generous spirit and heart. For many years, Denis enjoyed supporting children’s causes especially those that collected gifts/bikes for less fortunate children.

Denis began his career in law enforcement with the Ripon Police Department, where he became the first Sergeant in the department’s history. Denis designed the department’s police patch and was recognized by President Nixon for his design. He later served as Chief of Police in Green Lake — a role that gave rise to one of his favorite stories: the time he and his team successfully fended off a biker gang that tried to storm into Green Lake after one of their members had been arrested. He proudly served 7 years with the National Guard which included being called in for the 1968 Milwaukee Riot.

After moving to Las Vegas, he worked security at the Flamingo Hilton and Dunes Oasis before his work at the Nevada Test Site as a Sensitive Assignment Specialist. After returning to Wisconsin, Denis continued his work in security for Kimberly-Clark. A lifelong learner, he pursued continuing education and earned numerous certifications in law enforcement, private security, and investigative studies throughout his lifetime.

Denis enjoyed his yearly visits with his lifelong friend Jeffery “Monty”, a friendship that began while working together at the Nevada Test Site. Denis and Monty were brothers in spirit. A devoted Green Bay Packers fan, Denis also enjoyed boating and fishing and had a deep appreciation for Country and Western music and Western movies.

Denis is survived by, his daughter, Stephanie (David Curtis) Floyd of Hickory, Kentucky, and son, Chad (Kyrsten) Floyd of Tucson, Arizona along with grandchildren Sage (fiancé Katie Wyble) Floyd and Kaya Floyd, in addition to his brother, Roger (Barb) Floyd. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence, Sr. and Berneice Floyd and siblings Eileen Floyd, Ruth Eiring, Ellen Sobralski, Lawrence, Jr. “Chuck” Floyd, Earl Floyd, Mary Jo Floyd, Jean (special brother-in-law Clarence “Salty”) Salzman, and Roy Floyd.

The family would like to give special thanks to Paula Jones for being Denis’ friend and helper once he returned to Ripon and to his personal care attendants, nurses, and doctors at Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital along with Compassus Hospice.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date.

Mary K. Montag

A terrific woman, a great wife and mother, and our Mary in the Moon, Mary Kathryn (Whitford) Montag, age 76, of Fairwater, WI, passed away peacefully on January 11, 2026, following her battle with dementia and acute leukemia.

Mary was born July 3, 1949, in Prince Frederick, MD, the daughter of Philip and Kathryn (Rueber) Whitford. She was raised in Wauwatosa, WI, and attended ‘Tosa West High School’ where she got along with both the greasers and the jocks. She attended Carroll College for two years and graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing. On December 6, 1969, she married Thomas (Tom) Montag in Milwaukee and mothered two daughters, Jenifer Kathryn Montag (Terry Brown) of Marion, OH, and Jessica Marie Montag (Mel Knade) of Loveland, CO. She was preceded in death by her parents and her uncle, Clason Rueber. She is survived by her husband, her daughters, her brother, Philip Clason Whitford (Susan Dickert) of Cross Plains, WI, her niece Kirstina (Whitford) King (Peter) of Columbus, OH, and other cousins, nieces, and nephews on her side of the family, and in-law relatives on her husband’s side way too numerous to list. Her grandchildren are all four-footed and furry. In the big red house in Fairwater, she leaves behind five very perplexed cats.

Mary worked as a nurse her whole career, first at St. Mary’s Burn Center in Milwaukee, then at Ripon Hospital, Ripon, WI, and for most of her career at Fond du Lac County Public Health where she oversaw lead poison abatement, as well as working with immigrants and the elderly. She served as President of the Village of Fairwater for nigh on forty years, overseeing the restoration of the Fairwater Dam on the Grand River after it washed out in 1989. She was a founder of Outdoors Tomorrow, a nonprofit devoted to nature education and experience for this area’s youth, and served as a board member for the duration of its existence. With her husband, she edited and published the Wisconsin Poets Calendar in 1982, 1983, and 1984, before handing the project to the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, which continues the Calendar to this day.

Mary was known for her exceptional kindness and generosity and will be missed by all who knew her.

The family is immensely grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff of Urgent Care and the Medical/Surgical ward at Ripon Hospital, including the cleaning woman who was a daily spot of sunshine during Mary’s stay. SSM Hospice was a blessing for Mary and the family in the final days. A special thanks to all the friends and neighbors who provided comfort, support, and assistance; the family is thankful beyond measure.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer’s Association, a hospice organization of your choice, or an animal shelter/Humane Society.

Butzin-Marchant Funeral Home in Ripon is handling final arrangements. At some point in the future, the family will hold a memorial gathering to honor Mary. Her ashes will be interred at the family cemetery on “the farm” in Marquette County.

Calvin Walter Edwards, DVM

Retired veterinarian and beloved false curmudgeon, Calvin Edwards, passed away suddenly, but peacefully, in his home on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at age 78, as he was getting ready to go to a favorite weekly activity of pub trivia with friends.

The son of Irvin and Violet Edwards (Petersen), he was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, growing up an only child, but with three cousins, Ardath, Eleanor and Sue, whom he viewed as older sisters, living nearby. He attended Withrow High School, went on to undergrad at Iowa State University, and obtained his veterinary degree at Ohio State University.

Cal started in large animal practice in Chestertown, Maryland, where he spent his free time coaching little league, and eventually meeting his future wife, Janis (Arthurs). The two married in 1980 and moved to Muscoda, Wisconsin, near where Cal had spent his summers learning to love animals and farming life on his aunt and uncle’s farm. They moved shortly after to a practice in Berlin, Wisconsin, where he worked until his retirement. Cal enjoyed driving to different farms and treating animals, but mostly he loved the people he met and their families. A voracious reader, particularly of history, he was a great patron of the local public libraries. He is well remembered for his sense of humor and eagerness to share a ridiculous story. He always volunteered when there was a task to be done or quietly appeared when someone was in need.

After retirement, Cal became involved in the First Congregational Church in Ripon, was on the board of the Ripon Area League of Women Voters, volunteered for the Wisconsin Historical Society, and regularly audited courses at Ripon College. He is survived by his wife, Janis; his children, Hilary and Gavin; and his stepsons, Eli and Brent Woyke.

A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at the First Congregational Church, 220 Ransom Street in Ripon, Wisconsin, on Saturday, January 24, 2026, with visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. and service starting at 2:00 p.m. An opportunity to share a story about Cal will be available at the service. You may view a livestream of Cal's service at 2:00 p.m. by visiting this link LIVESTREAM.
