Louella Jean Zahn, age 76, longtime resident of Whitewater, passed away on August 26, 2019

After a more than 20-year fight with cancer, Louella Jean Zahn (Badzinski) found peace with the Lord in heaven on August 26th. She was accompanied in her final moments by her children and grandchildren at Fairhaven in Whitewater.

Lou was born October 27, 1942 in Thorp Wisconsin. She was the 8th child from a family of nine brothers and sisters of Louis and Rosella (Duss) Badzinski.

Lou graduated from Thorp high school in 1960 and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the Wisconsin State College in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1964. She married Donald Zahn of Sullivan, WI in May 21, 1966 at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Thorp, WI. Together, they completed their Masters degrees from Northern Arizona University in 1969.

While going to graduate school and working as a teacher she gave birth to two sons, Shane in New London, Wisconsin in 1967 and Travis in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1970. While devoting full time to being a mom she gave birth to a daughter Sally in Madison, WI in 1975. After a brief 2-year stay in Georgia, Lou and her family settled in Whitewater in 1978.

Lou worked for the University of Wisconsin Whitewater from 1978 until her retirement in 2007 almost exclusively with the Continuing Education Department. In addition to the regular work week, she spent many Saturdays and Sundays on campus helping out with all of the various camps and conferences. Originally hired as a typist for the University, she started many days in the early hours around 2 a.m. with a side job typing theses on an electric typewriter for foreign students pursuing their MBA’s. Lou loved working for the University and with all of the wonderful staff.

Lou was a devoted member of St. Patrick Catholic church in Whitewater. She enjoyed singing in the choir and cantering. She was a founding member of the University Optimist Club and still assisted with volunteer events such as ticket taking at all home Warhawk football games into 2018. She was an avid Warhawk sports fan, especially football, making several trips to the Stagg Bowl in Virginia.

Lou was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996. Despite battling this disease through double mastectomy, losing the use of her left arm, and continuous daily pain, she rarely complained and made the most out of every day. The family would like to thank ProHealth Care oncology in Oconomowoc for their dedication and support in helping Lou battle cancer over two decades.

Louella was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Bob and Eugene, and husband Don. She is survived by her sons Shane (Amy) and Travis of Whitewater and daughter Sally (Kevin) of Whitewater; and six grandchildren, Scott, Isabelle, Emily, Allison, Celine, and Trenten; as well as one brother and five sisters.

Funeral service will be held on Friday, August 30th at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Whitewater. Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. with mass at 11.

If desired, memorials may be made to St. Patrick Catholic Church of Whitewater, or in her name to the Cancer fighting organization of your preference.

Nitardy Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Digging? Be Sure to Call Diggers Hotline!

The City of Whitewater would like to share the Diggers Hotline information with you in order to properly locate underground lines prior to work on your land. This is crucial to protecting the safety of family, neighbors and the general public. Skipping this step is dangerous and costly. The Diggers Hotline service is Wisconsin’s statewide one-call notification system that was developed in order to provide excavators and the general public the ability to inform multiple owners of underground facilities of excavation with a single call. Wisconsin Statute 182.0175 requires residents to notify Diggers Hotline before beginning excavation, grading, trenching, digging, drilling, use of an augur, tunneling, scraping, plowing cable or piping on your land. Excavation, according to law, classifies anything that moves, removes or displaces earth, rock, or other material in or on the ground. To contact Diggers Hotline dial 811 or 1-800-242-8511, or visit their website at http://diggershotline.com/.

DOT Implementing Improvements to Hwy 12/CTH N

Image result for image yellow flashing left turn signal

Local officials and community members met with Rep. Don Vruwink, Sen. Janis Ringhand, Sen. Steve Nass, Captain Dave Gerber with Walworth County Sheriff’s Department and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) officials on Tuesday, August 20 to discuss changes to the HWY 12/CTH N intersection. Although WISDOT had previously indicated that safety enhancements could not be made until summer of 2020, the recent two serious crashes contributed to a sense of urgency for the work to be completed.

Crews are replacing poles and signals this week. By Monday, August 26th, the WISDOT will have installed a flashing yellow signal for Northbound and Southbound traffic making a left turn at the intersection. Cameras will also be installed to observe traffic patterns in the coming weeks. Officials will plan to convene this fall for a follow-up discussion about the intersection changes.

The City would like to extend a special thank you to all those who participated in the meeting or shared comments via emails and social media. Your feedback has been greatly appreciated. We also appreciate the support of our legislators and the quick action by the WISDOT personnel.
