SAUK CITY – Hubert A. Lins, age 100 years and 116 days, passed on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022, surrounded by family at St. Mary’s Hospital, Madison, due to complications of congestive heart failure. Hubert was born on June 1, 1922, in rural Spring Green, Town of Bear Creek, Wis., son of Henry and Mary (Reik) Lins. He married Velma Meyer on June 15, 1948, at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Plain, Wis. Together they shared 55 years of marriage prior to Velma’s passing in 2004.

Hubert was a very religious, devoted Catholic. Attending Mass and devotions and praying the rosary were important aspects of his life. He enjoyed traveling, being a Florida and Arizona snowbird and, more recently, rides of remembrance to the country to see how the crops were doing. He was an avid euchre player and enjoyed playing cards and games with his daughters and their families.
