After a distinguished and heartfelt career spanning nearly seven decades, Nancy Piasecki has decided to retire from her role at the Piasecki Funeral Home, a beacon of comfort and service in our community since 1931. Nancy’s journey with the funeral home began in 1955 when she married into the business, stepping into a world that was, at the time, uncharted territory for women. With dedication and an unwavering spirit, she not only succeeded but thrived, paving the way for future generations.
Nancy’s initial contribution was modernizing the business’ financial management, moving away from a simple notebook to a comprehensive accounting and bookkeeping system. Her role evolved over the years, from managing clergy, caskets, and vault orders to steering the funeral home through its most challenging times, especially after the passing of her husband, Michael J. Piasecki, in 1984. Under her guidance, the funeral home’s services grew exponentially, a testament to Nancy’s leadership and the collective effort of a dedicated team.
Her legacy includes not just the growth of the funeral home but also her significant involvement in various local organizations, where she held numerous leadership positions, contributing to the betterment of the Kenosha community. Nancy’s commitment to service was mirrored in her personal life, where she was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend, always finding joy in the time spent with her loved ones.
