Stokosa, Lottie A. (30 June 1966 – 28 December 2022)

Lottie A. Stokosa, age 56, of Medford, passed away on Wednesday, December 28, 2022, at her daughter's home in New Auburn,

Lottie Ann Stokosa was born on June 30, 1966, in Oak Park, IL, the daughter of Eugene and Lillie (Reed) Stokosa. In 1971, her family moved to Thorp, where she was raised and educated, graduating from Thorp High School in 1984. After graduation, Lottie lived in Greenwood for 16 years where she was very active in organizing and volunteering at many community events including St. Mary's Catholic Church. Lottie was a Girl Scout and Boy Scout leader for over 30 years. She lived in California for a short time before returning to Wisconsin where she worked as a bartender and cook at various employers and cities throughout the years.

She had many interests, but especially enjoyed fishing, gardening, reading, and being outdoors. Her main passion was people, especially children. She loved doing projects with the grandkids and enjoy teaching them about everything in life. She would do anything for someone, her heart was one of a kind.

Lottie is survived by the love of her life of 18 years: Jason Hansen; her three children: Danielle Stokosa and Zack Pawlak of New Auburn, Riley (Leah) Stokosa of Eau Claire, and Racheal Vetterkind of California; three grandchildren: Catherine, Anastasia, and Lawrence; three siblings: Connie Sonnentag of Eau Claire, Mary (Fred) Wagener of Eau Claire, and Bonnie (Douglas) Thielke of Curtiss; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Per Lottie's wishes, no formal funeral services will be held at this time. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, January 21, 2023, at the Eau Claire VFW, 1300 Starr Avenue, Eau Claire, WI, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
