Obituary of Donald Eugene Cutsforth

Donald E. Cutsforth, age 78, of Jefferson passed away peacefully (not willingly) with family at his side at Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Center on February 1, 2012. He was born on August 11, 1933 to Bert and Mildred (Kearney) Cutsforth. Employed by Wis-Pak for 38 years, Don was the Transportation Manager and retired at the age of 76. He married his beloved wife Lauren (Spence) April 4, 1991 and is survived by her; sons Clint (Cheryl) Cutsforth of Fort Atkinson and Roger (Lisa) Cutsforth of Watertown; sister Susan Cutsforth of Elm Grove; stepbrothers Doug (Betty) Patterson and Theodore Patterson; sisters-in-law Kim (Mike) Ploch and Marsha (Mike) Crowle; brother-in-law Gavin (Phyllis) Spence; grandchildren Callie (Craig) Smillie, Patrick (Amy) Cutsforth, Andrew (Amanda) Cutsforth, Tyler Cutsforth, Josh Koehler, Jesse Koehler; great grandchildren Bryan, Landon & Kiptyn Smillie, Colin Cutsforth, Aiden & Ashton Cutsforth, Tahlia Koehler; and nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends. An Army veteran, Don cared very much about all of his family, especially his wife Lauren, his source of energy, will, and determination during his 25 year battle with cancer. Don enjoyed a good afternoon spent with his family, the Packers, woodworking, or mowing his and his families' lawns. A private service for the family will be held. A celebration of Don's life will take place on Feb 16, 2012 at RAINBOW HOSPICE INPATIENT CENTER, 1225 Remmel Drive, Johnson Creek from 4 - 7 p.m. Special thanks from the family to Lori Ebert for all her help during Don's extended illness. The family also wishes to express its sincere admiration and gratitude to the incredibly caring, compassionate, and comforting staff at the Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Center.
