Racine- Lois Jane (nee: Feest) Korako, age 88, passed away at Lakeshore at Siena on Wednesday, November 15, 2023.

One of eight children, Lois was born in Racine on January 11, 1935 to the late Leo and Adelaide (nee: Marsch) Feest. She was a graduate of St. Catherine’s High School class of 1953. On November 23, 1968 in St. Edward Catholic Church, she was united in marriage with the love of her life, William J. Korako.

Lois was a longtime member of St. Lucy Catholic Church. Prior to getting married she worked at Moxness Products Inc.  She loved her lifetime vocation of being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, who enjoyed cooking, cleaning and spending time with her family up-north in Boulder Junction.  Her homes were always considered a respite location by many of her children’s friends where she would serve them home cooked meals, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and drinks (in moderation of course).

Surviving are her children, Michelle Korako and John (Amy) Korako; grandchildren, Owen Estrada; Roman (Faith Haapala) Korako and Tanner Korako; great-granddaughter, Kinsley Korako; sisters-in-law, Magda Szabo and Bernice Feest; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends – too numerous to mention by name. In addition to her parents, Lois was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bill Korako, who passed away on March 12, 2014; Bill’s parents, Frank and Anne (nee:  Molnar) Korako; and by her 6 brothers & 1 sister.
