Lois Neitzke

Lois Jean Neitzke, age 82, of Winona, passed away on Monday, July 8, 2019, at Lake Winona Manor, embraced by the love of her family.

She was born on October 21, 1936, in Rollingstone, MN, to Weston and Clara (Redmann) Larson.  Lois was united in marriage with Harry Neitzke on May 19, 1956, at Faith Lutheran Church in Winona.  She was a life-long resident of Winona, and a member of the Lois Club.

Lois’ faith and her family were the foundations of her life.  As a member of Faith Lutheran Church, she was active with singing in the choir, teaching Sunday School, and the church quilters. She was also instrumental in establishing the church library, and served as the church librarian for many years.  She was a loving wife and mother who was a dedicated homemaker, and she also cherished the time that she spent with her grandchildren. Lois will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.
