Katherine Regina Schlosser
Katherine Regina Schlosser was born in Arkansaw, WI on November 30, 1919 to Joseph and Gertrude (Moritz) Hartung. She died January 13, 2015 at the Heritage of Elmwood Nursing Home in Elmwood, WI.
Katherine lived a very busy happy life keeping up with her 10 children and husband that liked to travel. World Fairs, Canadian fishing and blueberry trips, camping, lumber conventions, and visiting their children/grandchildren all over the country were just a few of their adventures. The family spent many happy hours at Hayward, WI enjoying the little cottage on the lake. Her garden raised many fruits and vegetables for the family and offered many therapeutic hours of weeding and harvesting. You can just imagine the meals she prepared! She enjoyed flowers - always planting, watering, fertilizing, weeding, mulching. The birds loved her bird bath and she watched them every morning over coffee. She and her husband Bud spent many retired winters in Ft. Myers Beach with family and friends. They loved the warm temperatures with boating and enjoyed eating out especially at lunchtime.
Katherine spent her last 5 years at Autumn Village in Menomonie, WI before moving to Heritage Nursing Home in Elmwood, WI. The family would like to thank all the nurses and staff that made her life enjoyable to the end.
Katherine is survived by her daughters and sons - Mary (George) Raupp of Naples, FL, Daniel (Debbie) Schlosser of Bay Minette, AL, Linda (Ed) Wells of Green Lake, Rebecca (Daryl) Olson of Lakeville, MN, Constance (Gary) Larson of Elk Mound, Katherine (Charles) Stori of Columbia, SC, Steven (Laurie) Schlosser of Arkansaw and Robert (Tammy) Schlosser of Durand. She will also be greatly missed by her 29 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. Katherine is survived by her brother, Duane (Pat) Hartung of Merritt Island, FL, and sister-in-law, Gladys Hartung of New Brighten, MN.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Francis Schlosser, in 2004, her sons - Michael Francis in 2004, and William Joseph in 1958. Her brothers, Walter, Galen, Harvey and Darrel Hartung, her sisters, Marge Driscoll, Lorraine Huettel, and Darlene Wolff.
