Lezotte, Norma (7 August 1941 - 8 April 1961)

A requiem high mass was read Tuesday morning in St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Neillsville, for Mrs. Alvin (Norma) Lezotte, 19, of Neillsville, who died suddenly Saturday. The Rev. Fr. Joseph Eisenmann officiated. Burial was made in the parish cemetery.

Death was attributed to a blood clot.  Mrs. Lezotte was preparing to return home Saturday morning and was stricken while walking from the bathroom to her hospital bed.  She had given birth to a son, Kevin Francis, a few days before.

The former Norma Bredlau, daughter of George and Hilda (Haslow) Bredlau, was born August 7, 1941, in the Town of Loyal.  She received her education in the Mayflower and Happy Hollow schools and was graduated from Neillsville High School in 1959.
 

On August 20, 1960, she was married to Alvin Lezotte, and had been employed in Neillsville until February.  She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

Mrs. Lezotte is survived by her husband and son.  Other survivors are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Bredlau Rt. 1, Neillsville; and a brother, Alfred Bredlau, at home; three sisters: Mrs. Melchior (Eileen) Hoesly and Mrs. Raymond (Carol) Wedekind, both of Neillsville; and Marion, at home; and two grandfathers, Gus Haslow of Loyal and John Bredlau of Spokeville.
