Elizabeth was born on Feb. 12, 1933, in Prairie du Chien to Joseph and Elizabeth (Balk) Nolan. She graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Prairie du Chien and then moved to Milwaukee where she worked in the office as an admissions coordinator at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Elizabeth worked as a driver for Head Start and a crossing guard at various locations around the city of Marshfield.

She was an avid gardener, enjoyed fishing, and loved being outside in God’s creation. Elizabeth was also quite the character and adored animals. She had numerous dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and aquarium fish - through the years often times having more than she needed.

She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Jahnke of La Crosse, son, Edward Jahnke of Marshfield, and grandchildren, Maya, Jackson, Alexander, and Jonah whom she enjoyed spending time with and doing activities. She is further survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and brothers, Edward, Joseph, Paul, Frank, and Carl.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Wells Nature View on 21st Street for the great care they gave Elizabeth.
