Louise Pichler passed away at Willow Ridge Healthcare in Amery, Wis. on Thursday, December 31, 2020. Louise was born in Chicago on a hot July day in 1936 to Albert G. and Helen Kropidowski. In her early teens the family moved to a farm in rural Wisconsin where she graduated from Luck High School. Louise had two children, Debbie and Anita Pueschner, from her first marriage. She eventually met and married Edward Pichler, and they lived in Eau Claire, Wis. for many years before moving to Amery in 2019. Louise played the accordion, and loved to listen to the big band and "oldies" music from her era. In their early marriage, Louise and Ed were quite good on the dance floor. Louise had a very strong faith and is no doubt in Heaven catching up with the rest of family.

Louise was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Jerome. She is survived by husband, Edward Pichler; daughters, Debbie Pueschner and Anita (Joe) Kaliszewski; three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.  A private family graveside service was held for Louise.
