Obituary
FOOTVILLE/OREGON - Anna M. LaCourse, age 75, passed away with her family and her dog at her side, at home in Footville, on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020. She was born on Oct. 27, 1944, in Marxville, Wis., the daughter of Roy and Grace (Cupp) Walser.
She was united in marriage to Brian LaCourse on Feb. 2, 1963, at St. James Catholic Church in Madison. Anna grew up on the farm in Marxville. She was a former nursing employee for the State of Wisconsin, and most recently stayed active with Progressive Packaging, Inc., in Footville, a business she founded with her husband, Brian, in 1997. She took great joy in watching the business grow. In her spare time she enjoyed gardening, flowers and feeding her birds. Family was everything to Anna, her greatest enjoyment came from spending time with her family and friends, especially with her kids and grandkids. She enjoyed Friday night dinners with friends, playing Euchre and the occasional trip to Ho-Chunk with Brian, and then later with her nephew, Glenn.
Anna is survived by her children, Shellie (Roger) Engelhart and Scott (Bugsy) LaCourse; her grandchildren, Alicia (Adam) Clark, Erica (Nathan) Duell, Michael (Katie) LaCourse, Gabby LaCourse and Macy LaCourse; great-grandchildren, Savannah, Grayson, Nora, Landon and Harper; her brother, Ralph Walser; sisters, Ruth (John) Koberle and Shirley (Harvey) Molitor; and other relatives and friends.

You were always there to protect me. Save me from the goose, try to keep me out of trouble. And always there to to listen to me brag about my kids and grandchildren. And maybe some venting on this or that. After Brian's passing we text or talked almost everyday. I am going to be lost. We had such good times when you'd come to visit me in Florida.
