Doris Thompson

Doris L. Thompson, 88, of La Crosse died Saturday, June 25, 2022, at home, surrounded by all of her children.

Doris was born on August 14, 1933, in La Crosse to Walter and Ragna (Bjorkman) Tauscher. She married Richard Thompson on February 21, 1953, in La Crosse. After raising her seven children, she worked at La Cro Products, starting in the factory and retiring as an administrative assistant at the age of 83. She was an avid Brewers, Packers and Badgers fan, watching them on TV whenever she could. She will be remembered as a selfless person, always putting others before herself.

Doris is survived by her children, Larry (Rita) Thompson, David (Signe) Thompson, Peter (Doreen) Thompson, Greg (Paula) Thompson, Lori (Ron) Schultz, Mark (Dianne) Thompson and Steve (Kelly) Thompson; 19 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; her sister, Marilyn Senn, and sisters-in-law, Bonna Tauscher and Joan Mourning.

Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Richard, after 53 years of marriage; four sisters, Calverna Rhodes, Luella Bissen, Ardell Garves and Leona Knutson, and three brothers, Willard, Marvin and infant Waldemore Tauscher.

In keeping with her wishes, a private graveside service will take place at a later date at Mormon Coulee Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be given to Mayo Hospice La Crosse or Trinity Lutheran Church in La Crosse.
A special thank you to Mayo Hospice for their great care.
