Mary Capoun

Mary “Ethel” Capoun, 71, passed away unexpectedly at her home (Capoun Golf Range on Green Bay Rd.) on Sunday, September 9, 2007. Ethel was born in Chicago, IL on September 4, 1936 to the late William and Mary (nee: McKeon) Van De Logt. In Chicago, on November 18, 1955, she was united in marriage with George James Capoun. Ethel and George lived in Paletine, IL until moving to Kenosha in August of 1975 when they established the Capoun Range and Miniature Golf Center. Genuinely friendly, Ethel truly enjoyed socializing with customers and friends, always expressing “Hit ‘em good” to those heading to the range. Ethel was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church. When she wasn’t tending to her family or working, she enjoyed golfing (go figure). She will be missed by the countless lives she touched. Surviving are her husband, George James Capoun; son, George “Bobby” Capoun; grandchildren, Gregory John Capoun and Lindsay Kay Capoun; sisters, Marilyn McGowan and Margie (Bill) Lund; sister-in-law, Dolores McCoskey; and by other special relatives, customers and friends too numerous to mention by name. In addition to her parents, Ethel was preceded in death by her beloved son, John “Butch” Capoun; and brother-in-law, Tom McGowan. Relatives and friends are invited to meet for the celebration of the Funeral Mass at St. Peter Catholic Church, 2224- 30th Ave., on Friday, September 14, 2007 at 10:30 am with Rev. William Hayward, MIC officiating. Interment will follow in Sunset Ridge Memorial Park. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Thursday from 5-8 pm and in the church on Friday from 9:30-10:30 am. In memory of Ethel, memorials to Oncology Alliance of Wisconsin (c/o: Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha) has been suggested.
