Dolores Graff

Dolores “Lola” Jean Graff, 85 of La Crosse, died Tuesday, October 17, 2023 at Spring Brook Assisted Living in Onalaska.

Lola was born September 18, 1938 in La Crosse to Edwin and Leona (Kessler) Johnson.  She graduated from Aquinas High School.  On November 21, 1959, she married LeRoy Graff.  Her life’s work was caring for her family and she did so in so many ways.  Her children were her utmost priority, and then came her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and she truly treasured time spent with them.  Lola also enjoyed cooking, baking, crocheting, puzzles, going to the casino and loved to go shopping and find a good sales rack.

She is survived by six children, Sue (Rick) Czeczok, Sandy (Jim) Malay, Dan (Kim) Graff, Julie (Brian) Wolf, Andy (Melissa) Graff, and Mark (Shelly) Graff; grandchildren, Charlie (Jen) Czeczok, Tom (Caity) Czeczok, Emily (Andy) Osgar, Lindsey (Ryan) Graff-Wilsey, Ben (Steph) Graff, Jacob (Patsy) Wolf, Logan, Molly and Natalie Graff and Grace & Sarah Graff; and sisters-in-law, Kay Johnson, Betty Ringquist, Karen Hansen and Mary Graff.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; son-in-law, Larry Snell and six brothers and sisters.

Lola’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Spring Brook Community in Onalaska and Gundersen Health Hospice for the loving care they gave Lola.

Funeral Mass will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, October 21, 2023 at St. James The Less Catholic Church.  Visitation will be 9:30 until the time of Mass.  She will be laid to rest at French Island Cemetery.  Blaschke and Schneider Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.  www.blaschkeschneider.com.
