Obituary:
June E. Olson (Koss), 89 years. On June 27, 2017 a piece of our heart broke and we won't get it back. She was called to her heavenly kingdom at Oak Park Place Assisted Living in Appleton, Wisconsin. June was born June 1, 1928 to her parents Leslie and Helen Koss (Jenkel) in Appleton, Wisconsin. On July 31, 1948 Morris L., the man who taught her how to love, and June E. Olson (Koss) were married. Together they settled in Appleton, Wisconsin to raise their two children.
June was an active member of the American Legion Woman's Auxiliary Post 38. She was devoted to her Lord and attended Sunday Services at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. In her years at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, she assisted with the woman's auxiliary. Her passion for bowling on team leagues and just for fun extended past her 86th birthday. Most of all she was her grandchildren's #1 fan. She was present for all of their first day of school, from grade school through college. June attended most of their games, rain or shine and music events, no matter how far away.
June will be missed by her children Pamela (Dean) Peterson and Randy (Mary) Olson, grandchildren Jennifer (Michael) Kitzman, Ryan (Laura) Peterson; Nicolette (Joseph) Dengel, and Maranda (Joseph) Ackerman, great-grandchildren Megan Kitzman, Hailee Peterson, and Shaefer Peterson, brother Thomas Koss, and brother-in-law James Farrell.

Farrell, Barbara J. "Barb"
Barb Farrell, age 75, died Tuesday, September 30, 2008, at the Appleton Medical Center. Barb was born in Appleton on July 10, 1933, daughter of the late Leslie and Helen (Jenkel) Koss. She was a 1951 graduate of the Seymour High School, and on November 22, 1952, married Jim Farrell in Seymour. As a young woman, Barb worked as a stenographer for the Wisconsin Telephone Company and also worked for a time later in her life at the United Way Fox Cities. Most of her life was spent raising her family and caring for them. She will be remembered for her love of sports — especially the Packers, Badgers, and Tiger Woods. She also enjoyed traveling around the United States and Europe, and in 2001 took a family trip to Hawaii to celebrate the couple's Golden Wedding Anniversary and her "ohana," which is Hawaiian for "family."
Barb is survived by her husband of fifty-six years, Jim Farrell of Appleton; two children: Scott (Cathy) Farrell of Hoffman Estates, Illinois; and Cindy Farrell Hoffmann of Appleton; four grandchildren: Brian Farrell, Kevin Farrell, Tyler (Jenny Kloes) Hoffmann, and Kelsey Hoffmann; a great-grandson, Quinn Hoffmann; a sister, June Olson of Appleton; a brother, Tom Koss of Appleton; a sister-in-law, Shirley (Ed) Lone of Milwaukee; and her "special" nieces and nephews and their families.
Barb was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Peg Stellmacher, and brothers-in-law Morrie Olson and Doug Farrell.
Funeral services for Barb will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, October 3, 2008, at the WICHMANN FUNERAL HOME, 537 N. Superior Street in Appleton. Interment will take place at Highland Memorial Park. Friends may call at the funeral home on Friday from 4 p.m. until the time of the service.
