Lois Grischow Obituary

On October 15, 1960 Lois married Leonard Grischow after which they moved to Jefferson, WI where they started a dairy farm together and raised their 7 children. Once her children were grown, Lois went back to nursing and worked for 20+ years at Bethesda. Her greatest joys were watching the Cubs and Packers, playing the accordion, playing cards, going to the casino, crossword puzzles, baking bread, canning her husband's home grown produce, and most of all caring for her family. Lois was the glue of her huge family and instilled the love and strength that they will carry on with them forever.
Lois is survived by her children, Debbie (Woody) Pierce of Janesville, Robert (Gayle Birr) Grischow of Coleman, Garland (Kathryn) Grischow of Milton, Matthew (Renee) Grischow of Fort Atkinson, Bonnie (Rich) Addie of Milton, Susan Grischow of Fort Atkinson and Ronald Grischow of Whitewater; 21 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; former daughter-in-law, Jeanette Ebel Grischow; brother-in-law, Rhienhard (Marilyn) Grischow; sisters-in-law, Lois (Jack) Gomes and Eunice Grischow; cousins, Janet Flora and Joan Samuels and many other relatives and friends. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Leonard Grischow; infant brother, Thomas Yanus; brothers-in-law, Howard Grischow, Vern Grischow and Orland Grischow; sisters-in-law, Lorraine (Jerry) Backus and Florence Smith.
