Toni Gits, 93

Anthonette L. "Toni" Gits went home to be with the Lord on Dec. 7 at the Deerfield in New Richmond, Wis.

Toni was born on Oct. 23, 1919, to John (Jack) Lauters and Mary (Borscheller) Lauters. She was the youngest of 13 children. She later married Wilfred (Bill) Gits Nov. 17, 1978.

Toni was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and siblings.

She is survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Toni loved life, especially God’s creations with birds and cats being at the top of her list. She loved helping with church activities and going to sporting events, especially March Madness basketball. The staff at Deerfield also said Toni touched many lives and affected everyone she came in contact with. They will also miss her whistling in the halls and her lively step. Although Toni will be spending Christmas with Jesus this year, she will be missed by all and never forgotten.

Mass of Christian Burial 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 27, at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Somerset, Wis. A visitation will be held 1 hour prior to service at the church. Please join the family for a luncheon immediately after the Mass in the church social hall. Burial will be held at Resurrection Cemetery in Mendota Heights, Minn.
