Allen William Sabel
Allen William Sabel, of St. Peter, 86, passed away on January 17, 2025 at Hospice Home of Hope. He was born May 6, 1938 at Mercy Hospital in Oshkosh to the late Louis and Olive (Steffes) Sabel.
Allen lived in St. Peter all his life. He graduated from St. Peter grade school in St. Peter and graduated from Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac. He was called to the U.S. Army for two years in the sixties. After he came home from the Army, he worked at a cheese factory for many years. He was a charter member of the St. Peter Lions Club. He married Jean Margenau on May 14, 1983 at Salem United Methodist Church in Fond du Lac.
Allen and Jean enjoyed times traveling through many western states. They owned Steffes Tavern in St. Peter and ran it until April 15, 2022 when they retired and closed up the tavern. He liked to have his time sitting on the porch in the summer and visited with people who stopped to talk with him.
