Gladys A. Ciszewski, 85, residing at Renaissance in Weston, died on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, at Aspirus Wausau Hospital, with her children holding her hands.
Gladys was born on March 6, 1939, the daughter of Felix and Natalie (Kostka) Tuskowski.
On September 27, 1958, Gladys was united in marriage to Norbert Ciszewski at St. Ladislaus Catholic Church, Bevent. He preceded her in death on November 1, 2007.
Gladys was very smart, excelling through school and graduating from Rosholt High School at the age of 16. She then entered the workforce early, kickstarting a career that included working at law firms for decades. Gladys enjoyed going to concerts, trips to the casino, playing bingo, and watching the Green Bay Packers. Going out to eat was a big joy in Gladys' life. She especially loved time spent with her children and grandchildren. She was very proud of her Polish heritage, and will be remembered for her strong-will.
