Olivia Marie Witkowski

Olivia Marie Witkowski, age 16, of Neenah, passed unexpectedly after a car accident on 3/20/24 in the town of Neenah.

She was born in Neenah on December 12, 2007.  She is the daughter of her grandpa, David Witkowski; her Dad and Mom, Forrest (Cash) and Mary Clark and her Uncle and Aunt Nick Vanderheyden and Jennifer (Jennie) Witkowski.  

Olivia was a sophomore at Neenah High School and was currently employed at Subway in Neenah.  Prior to working at Subway she was employed at Festival Foods in Darboy.

She loved hunting, fishing, four wheeling and snowmobiling.  Her love of all things outdoors began with her grandpa as a toddler,  with many rides into the woods in a wheelbarrow.   It continued on throughout the rest of her life.  If there was a four wheeler, she was on it. She even trained her Aunt Jenny's pug, Murphy (Frank), to go for rides with her.  Olivia was ever giving, always wanting to help anyone she could.  Olivia volunteered yearly at the Iola Car show. On Sundays in the summer you would see her helping at the Little Falls Loggers Men's baseball games in Little Falls. She helped at the yearly Recovery Corn Roast.

Olivia also spent time with her Uncle Nick at McCaslin Lake in Lakewood.  There she would ride a four wheeler, go snowmobiling and help with any work that needed to be done.  She did not shy away from hard work.  She will be remembered for all her help with the McCaslin Lake  Association. Her calendar was clear every year to help with the dredging.

If you met Olivia, you will never forget her.  She drew you in with her beautiful eyes and smile.  She was wise beyond her years and her goal every day was to bring a smile and even better, laugh.
