Robyn Michelle Kratz passed away peacefully at her Wisconsin home on Thursday July 10, 2025, after a long courageous battle of cancer.

Robyn was born on January 28, 1964, in Portage, WI. She attended St. John's Lutheran School through elementary and graduated in 1982 from Portage High School. From there, she attended Concordia College where she completed her bachelor's degree in arts to then become a Lutheran elementary teacher. Robyn taught in Chebanse, Ill and Milwaukee WI for her first nine years of teaching. In 1997, she made the move to Fort Dodge, Iowa where she worked for 28 years at St. Paul Lutheran.

Robyn was dedicated to her role and loved teaching and watching her students grow. She was involved in so many things within the community such as organizing field trips, fund raising, being an athletic director and so much more. Robyn even took an interim principal position to help out. She loved sharing her love for God with everyone she encountered. Robyn also had a special place in her heart for her Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Peanuts and Giraffes.

Robyn was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was a force to be reckoned with at times but always with the kindest heart.

Robyn is survived by her three brothers, Rick Kratz, Rusty (Sandy) Kratz, Ron (Bonnie) Kratz, also surviving are her God children Mandy (Ryan) Hallman, Adam (Felicia) Kratz, and Joseph Motzkus, lifelong friend Paula Breutzmann, and many nieces, nephews, along with great nieces and nephews.
