Grace Janikowski

Grace loved to be around her family, doting on them by cooking and baking every chance she had.  Spending time up north on a lake with her cane pole was a favorite pastime. Grace and Nortbert always had a good time while in each other’s company, whether it was couples league bowling, casino trips, those trips up north, or driving to Stevens Point on Sunday’s to participate in the Polka dances, they made the most of their time together.

Besides her husband Norbert, Grace is survived by, her children; Corri (Tom) Marschall, Tim (JoAnn) Janikowski, Mark (Lorrie) Janikowski, and Laurie (Karl) Kurtzweil; five grandchildren, Brock (Meghan) Janikowski, Stacy (Klay) Swatloski, Breanna Janikowski, Tiffany (Ben Herzfeldt) Janikowski, and Tanner Janikowski; two great-grandchildren, Kenley and Kashten Swatloski; sister-in-law Marge Koskey; and brother-in-law Donald Maszk.  Grace was preceded in death by two brothers, Elmer Gorski and Lawrence Koskey, and one sister, Elsie Maszk.
