Hargraves, Josephine Mary “Joanie” (18 October 1945 – 6 October 2021)

Josephine “Joanie” Mary Hargraves, age 75, of Milan, passed away on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, at the Colonial Center in Colby.

Joanie was born on October 18, 1945, the daughter of the late Wilbert and Helen (Hrobsky) Hargraves and stepdaughter of the late Dorothy Hargraves. She worked as a caregiver for many years in Milan and the Wausau area. Joanie resided in Dorchester, Greenwood and most recently Arpin.

She was preceded in death by her parents and step-mother; two brothers and three sisters: Darlene (Jim) Prelipp, Charlene (Dennis) Koss, Patricia Kemps, Ronald Denzine, and Douglas (Dottie) Denzine.

A Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 16, 2021, at the Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford. Visitation will be from 9:30 a.m. until time-of-service Saturday at the funeral home. Interment to follow at St. Thomas Cemetery in Milan.
