Legacy Lives: Lois Statz
Lois Statz was born on July 22, 1932 in Barneveld, Wisconsin, where she lived with her mother, father, sister and brother. When Lois turned 12 years old, she and her family moved to her grandfather’s farm where she and her siblings helped work in the fields planting crops.
Lois graduated from Barneveld High School and immediately moved to Madison to live with her sister. There she took classes at MATC for sewing and worked as a bookkeeper at a bank. It was while living in Madison, that Lois met and fell in love with a firefighter who would become her husband, James Statz. The two went on to have four children, Teresa, Michelle, Michael and Steve.
Some of Lois’s favorite memories are of her family’s camping vacations. During the children’s summer break, they would pack up and go camping in different states. According to Lois, they have seen just about every state in the US! Not only does Lois have a love for camping, but she also has a deep passion for sewing. She has sewn everything from curtains to her daughter's wedding dress, and she continues to sew presents for her seven granddaughters and one grandson for birthdays and holidays. She loves to keep her hands busy with an array of sewing projects for her loved ones.
Lois came to live at Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale in October 2023 and has been a beloved resident ever since! She loves all the activities Hilldale has to offer.
