Mom and Dad were proud Packer fans and were one of the first to hold season tickets.
After their retirement, Lou and Doug became snowbirds and spent 15 plus years in Texas. They travelled to Mexico every Tuesday with all their friends. She enjoyed Salty Dogs, and playing cards. She loved the beach, and made many trips to South Padre Island.
She leaves her children: Cindy (Jim) Kmecheck of Tipler, Polly (Mike) Ama and Kelly (Chad) Ama of Green Bay, Scott Heroux of Appleton and Melissa Frazier of Florida.

“And if I go while you’re still here, know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure behind a thin veil that you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith. I will wait for the time when we can soar together again, all aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest, and when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart. I will be there.”
