Gertrude Lasch, a life-long resident of Manitowoc, died Monday, March 11, 2013. Gert passed peacefully at the age of 92 after experiencing a rewarding life that revolved around family and friends.

For the last four years Gert resided at Laurel Grove Assisted Living, where she was an avid Bingo player and participated in craft sessions.
