She will be dearly missed by her husband, Francis, of Greenwood; three children: Gary (Carol) of New Berlin, Renee (Dan) Slowiak of Thorp, and Scott of Greenwood; three grandchildren: Brandon and Dustin Slowiak, and Laura Kohlnhofer; and two brothers: Robert Koci and James Koci, both of Sun City, AZ.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and one brother, Frankie.
