Konieczny, Joanne Kathryn (5 May 1930 – 3 October 2022)

Joanne Kathryn Konieczny, 92, passed peacefully on Monday, October 3, 2022, at the Marshfield Medical Center Hospital, surrounded by family.

Joanne was born at home on May 5, 1930, in Junction (Stanley), Wisconsin, to Joseph and Bernice (Symbal) Szczech at the height of the depression. She grew up on the family farm and learned the value of hard work. Joanne was an accomplished cook and baker, gardener, and dressmaker.

Her first job was as a dressmaker, first in Thorp, and later in Milwaukee, where she met her future husband, George. On April 14, 1951, they were united in marriage at St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church in Thorp. They made their home in the Milwaukee area and, after raising 5 children, she returned to the workforce, sewing high end window treatments in the Milwaukee area.

In 1971, they moved to Marshfield. Joanne worked for Modern of Marshfield, sewing furniture upholstery, then later became a Cook at the University of Wisconsin in Marshfield. She ended her working years as she began them, sewing, at the Marshfield Medical Center, and later did so part-time well into retirement—a great seamstress was hard to find.

Joanne was an exemplary cook and baker, having learned from her mother and grandmothers. She was proud of her heritage and prepared tasty Polish food; her pierogi and gołąbki were extraordinary, and her canned dill pickles were noteworthy. She passed those skills on to her children and grandchildren. Her holiday meals and gatherings were legendary and will long be remembered. Joanne and her husband loved to garden and had large productive gardens. She also loved to can and preserve food, having learned to be thrifty, growing up during the depression. For many years, she was a volunteer for the Knights of Columbus, serving for many dinners and events. She also was a long-time member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church and active in their PCCW; she baked many a cake for funerals at OLP.

Joanne was preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, George, on August 6, 2021. She is survived by her five children: Leon (Tom Abbott) of Sanford, Florida, Jean (Perry) Heideman of Milwaukee, George E. (Cindy) of Chili, and Mary (Dan) Williams and Donna (Tom) Hayes of Marshfield. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren: Joe (Jen) Konieczny, Jake (Heather) Konieczny, Justin (Adrienne) Heideman, Rachel (Tony) Karlin, Caitlin Heideman, Kali (Mike) Ditolla, Alexis (Eric) Harris, Kyle Williams, Kirsten (Jake) Bucki, Sean (Ashley) Hayes, and 19 great-grandchildren (Emmitt, Mac, Brooklynn, Eli, Anna, Rose, Joy, Soren, Charlie, Josie, Owen, Collin, Lily, Alec, Lydia, Isabel, Emma, Finley, and Quinn). Joanne was preceded in death by her parents, by brothers Joe and Frank (Mona), and by her sister, Steph (Frank) Kotecki. She is survived by her sisters Carol (John) Szymanski and Mary (the late Bill) Boh.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at Rembs Funeral Home in Marshfield with Rev. Douglas Robertson officiating. Interment at Gate of Heaven Cemetery will follow. Visitation will be from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Monday, October 17, and from 10:00 am until service time on Tuesday, all at the funeral home. A rosary service will be held at 6:30 pm on Monday.

The family of Joanne Konieczny would like to thank the doctors and staff at the Marshfield Medical Center for their compassionate care during her last days, and especially Brooke, her RN, and Dr. O’Neill of Palliative Care who took great time with her and listened to her with compassion.

Memorials may be given in the name of George & Joanne Konieczny to Columbus Catholic Schools.

Donald Szczech

Donald 'Donnie' Michael Szczech, age 38, of rural Stanley, Wis., passed away Wednesday, May 30, 2007, at his home.

Don was born in Chippewa Falls, the son of Francis and Ramona (Ogurek) Szczech. He grew up in rural Stanley, attending area schools, graduating from Stanley-Boyd High School in 1987. He continued his education in agriculture at CVTC in farm business and production management. He was united in marriage to Kristina Meyer on April 9, 1994, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Cadott. Don owned and operated the family farm north of Stanley. He was a member and past elder of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Boyd and an active member of the Edson Hilltop 4-H Club.

Don's first and foremost commitment was to his family and the family farm. His love for his children was forever evident. He enjoyed muscle cars, building and reading and had an unending passion for learning.

He is survived by his wife, Kristina; his children, Duane (12), Brian (10), Victoria (3) and Nicholas (1), all at home; his mother, Ramona (Mona) Szczech; two brothers, David of Osseo and Dean of Stanley; his parents-in–law, Duane 'Bear' and Lois Meyer; sisters and brothers-in-law, Melinda (Tom) Symbal, Tracey (Seth) Proctor and Beth (Jeremy) Robinson; nieces and nephews, Austin, Brianna, Elizabeth, Sean and Sydney, whom he dearly loved and treated as his own; many aunts, uncles and nieces; his lifelong friend, Tom Symbal; and dear friends too numerous to mention.

He was preceded in death by his father, Francis Szczech, in 2002.

Don will be dearly and forever missed by his family and friends. His inviting smile and sparkling personality are gone from the sight but never from the hearts of the many lives he touched.

Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, 2007, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Cadott, with Pastor Raymond Bell officiating. Friends may call from 11 a.m. until the time of services on Saturday at the church.

Gregory A. “Pruitt” Kotecki, 56, of Eau Claire, passed away unexpectedly, on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire.

Greg was born on August 26, 1960, in Stanley, to Frank and Stephanie (Szczech) Kotecki. He grew up in Altoona and attended school at St. Mary’s, St. Patrick’s, and graduated with the Class of 1978, from Regis High School. On May 23, 1981, Greg married his high school sweetheart, Jami Bridges. Together they lived in Eau Claire for most of their married life and he was employed at Perkins Restaurant and Bakery for over forty years.

Greg enjoyed the outdoors and hunting, was a passionate fisherman, and was Lake Altoona’s unofficial fishing guide. He was also a life-long Brewers and Packers fan, and loved the challenge of a tough jigsaw puzzle. He always had an answer for questions from car repair, to food safety, to home improvement. He will be remembered for his work ethic, fish fries, boundless generosity, and late night sweet tooth. The next time you hit the water, cast your line in his honor.

The family would like to thank the doctors and the nursing staff who cared for Greg so compassionately at HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital.

Greg is survived by his wife of 36 years, Jami; three children, Andrew (Kimberly) Kotecki, Nicholas (Teresa Kasper) Kotecki and Megan (Ty) Fadness; four grandsons, Liam Kotecki and his brother on the way, and J.J. and Crosby Fadness; parents, Frank and Stephanie Kotecki; two brothers, Don (Roberta) Kotecki and Brian (Tracy) Kotecki; nieces, nephews, other relatives, his Perkins family and countless friends.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Frank and Vernie Kotecki; maternal grandparents, Joseph and Bernice Szczech; and parents-in-law, Peter and Beverly Bridges.

Visitation will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 4, 2017, at Lenmark-Gomsrud-Linn Funeral Home, 814 First Ave. in Eau Claire.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 5, 2017, at St. Olaf Catholic Church, 3220 Monroe St. in Eau Claire with Father Paul Hoffman officiating.
