Lucile Witkowski
September 17, 1920 — January 31, 2012
Lucile F. (Trochinski) Witkowski, age 91, formerly of Berlin and Waupun, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, at Tower View Villa in Rosendale, WI, where she lived for over six years.
One of 17 children, Lucile was born September 17, 1920, the daughter of Albert and Verona (Rutta) Trochinski. She grew up on a farm and worked in factories in Milwaukee, Ripon and Berlin. Lucile was a member of St. Josephs in Waupun, however for the last 6 years she attended St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Ripon with her family. She loved sitting together in the same pew with her family in church. In June of 1969, Lucile married John Witkowski who had 11 grown children of his own and an adopted special step-daughter.
Her greatest love was her often visits from her children and grandchildren, Bingo, cards, eating frog legs, folding wash and her new family at Tower View Villa, especially Jo and the late Lorraine Huth. She enjoyed monthly visits from the 4-K class and the special high school students that she helped with projects.
Survivors include her daughter, Patricia (David) Disterhaft of Rosendale, WI; son, John Trochinski Sr. of Poy Sippi, WI; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren and sister-in-law, Mrs. Jenny Trochinski of Berlin. Lucile was preceded in death by her parents, husband, John on April 23, 1984, and infant daughter, Barbara Ann in July of 1949.
Visitation for Lucile Witkowski will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012, from 9 – 10:30 am at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, 218 Blossom St., Ripon, WI 54971.
Mass of Christian Burial for Lucile Witkowski will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012, at 10:30 am at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Ripon. Father William Whalen will officiate. Interment will take place at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Berlin. Memorials may be directed to Children’s Hospital and Health System Foundation, P.O. Box 1997, MS3050, Milwaukee, WI 53201-1997.
Special thanks to all the loving, caring friends and care givers at Tower View Villa, especially to Melissa Wagner for taking Lucile to her granddaughter’s wedding in Madison last July along with the workers there and our great cook, Sue. Her last outing was to Slinger by her grandson, Derrick and wife, Michelle and great-grandson, Kaden and Mason. It was a “Special Day” for her. Her best medicine was seeing her great-granddaughter, Kira and playing games, excersing and playing Bingo with her.
Lucile’s favorite color is Red, anyone attending, please wear Red in her honor.
