Capitol Lakes

In celebration of Older Americans Month, we are proud to recognize Capitol Lakes residents Bob and Marney Scheele for their lifelong dedication to creativity, service, and community. Since arriving at Capitol Lakes, they have brought a wealth of experiences and a passion for staying engaged in meaningful ways that enriches those around them.

From their East Coast beginnings to building a life in Madison, where they raised their family, Bob and Marney have embraced each chapter with purpose. Marney’s work as a librarian included creating a Reading Is Fundamental program in a correctional facility, fostering literacy and connection for families. Bob’s career evolved from academia to entrepreneurship, where he discovered a love of woodworking—crafting unique furniture pieces that still fill their home today.

In retirement, their commitment to giving back has remained strong. Marney has already taken an active role at Capitol Lakes, leading the “Give and Take” donations drive in support of the Staff Appreciation Fund. Together, they continue to pursue their shared interests in creativity, volunteering, and lifelong learning.

Bob and Marney truly embody the spirit of Older Americans Month, showing that every new chapter is an opportunity to contribute, connect, and thrive. We are grateful to have them as part of the Capitol Lakes community!
