Racine – Joan C. (nee: Frederiksen) Rotkis, age 77, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday evening, May 29, 2021 at Aurora Medical Center in Kenosha.

A lifetime resident, Joan was born in Racine on August 3, 1943 to the late Edwin and Genevieve (nee: Nelson) Frederiksen. On September 8, 1966, Joan was united in marriage with the love of her life, Matthew J. Rotkis. Sadly, Matt passed away, just several months earlier, on December 29, 2020.

With a tireless work ethic, Joan was employed with All Saints / St. Mary's Medical Center for over 34 years, retiring as a Pharmacy Tech II. Among her interests, Joan enjoyed reading, gardening and, above all, she loved being at home in the surroundings of her entire family – especially when she could spoil her great-grandchildren.

Surviving are her daughter, Theresa M. Meyers; grandchildren, Antwane "Andy" Miller and Meagan (Robert) Sus; great-grandchildren, Carter John, Peyton Sus, Sebastian Miller & Warren Matthew Sus; and sister, Nancy (Bruce) Burman.

In accordance with Joan's wishes, private services will be held at a later date.
