Lynette Marie Anason, 45, of Neillsville passed away surrounded by her loving family, Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013, at her home following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Lynette Marie Kurasz was born July 12, 1968, in Neillsville, the daughter of Lee and Joan (Halle) Kurasz. She attended St. John’s Lutheran School and graduated from Neillsville High School in 1986. Lynette then enlisted into the Army National Guard and served for 10 years. During this time, she also attended Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire and earned an associate’s degree in accounting. She was united in marriage to Gary Michael Anason July 18, 1987, at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Neillsville. Lynette worked for three years at the Neillsville Foundry as a core maker and then she began her career at Leeson Motors, now known as Regal Motor Company. She worked at Regal Motor Company factories in Neillsville and most recently, Black River Falls. Her illness forced her to retire earlier this year.

She was preceded in death by a brother, John; her maternal grandparents, Arnold and Elsie Halle; and her paternal grandparents, William and Eva Kurasz.
