Victoria A. "Vicki" Rathsack, age 83, of Manitowoc passed away Tuesday, September 27, 2022 at Aurora BayCare Medical Center, Green Bay. Vicki was born August 20, 1939 in Manitowoc, daughter of the late Victor and Lila (Kubatski) Mrotek. She was a graduate of Lincoln High School with the Class of 1957. On June 23, 1962 she was united in marriage to Joseph A. Rathsack at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on April 7, 2014.
Vicki took pride in being a Mirro Hero working for the Mirro company for many years. She also worked for Aluminum Specialty and Data Exchange as a data entry key punch operator, before the computer age. She volunteered for the Adult Day Care, loving all her Alzheimer friends. Vicki was lead and co-facilitator of Manitowoc's Parkinson's Support Group, caring for all the families who attended the meetings from 2003 to 2020.
Vicki was a member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, enjoying working for the rummage and bake sales with the St. Clare's Society. She was a long-term member and volunteer of the Lincoln Park Zoological Society enjoying her time serving the visitors at the special events earning her a volunteer appreciation award. The flower gardens that Joe and Vicki planted over the years were enjoyed by all who visited and drove by. She was an avid sheepshead player being part of many card groups. She loved visiting and having lunches with her various groups of friends. She will always be remembered for her sense of humor in being able to make everyone laugh and her ability to connect with people and make friends seem like family. Once you were her friend you were one for life as displayed in her 70-year friendship with Rita Novak. "Grandma Bear" was the neighborhood cat lady taking in any strays that would wander onto her property. Her life will go on through all the lives she has touched over the years.
