She married Ron Graskey in Solon Springs at St. Pius X Catholic Church in 1992. She worked for the Douglas County Forestry Department until her retirement in 2008. She was a member of St. Pius and initiated the “free” clothing distribution, and Thursday night softball at the church. She also played softball for Prevost’s Women’s Softball Team. She enjoyed crafting with the ladies, riding in her golf cart to visit close friends and never missed a rummage sale.

Micki is survived by; her husband, Ron, of Solon Springs; one daughter, Meghan Schultz of Superior; one son, Michael Schultz of Nekoosa, Wis.; two sisters, Peggy (Tom) Eisenmann of Washington and Solon Springs, and Kathy (Bob) Maas of Solon Springs; and several nieces and nephews.

A memorial Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 at St. Pius in Solon Springs with the Rev. James Kinney officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorials are preferred to Solvay Hospice House in Duluth.

While working at Prevost, one of the highlights of my day would be when "my girls" came in for lunch. Micki was sunlight on a cloudy day and would always have sage words of wisdom for me when she knew I was feeling low. I am so sorry for your loss. Kasey Norkunas (formerly Latvala)

Micki was a classmate and friend of mine at Bennett and St. Croix Elementary Schools and St. Croix High school. She was an exciting person to grow up with. There was never a dull moment when Micki was around. Like the time she dropped the snow ball on the principal's head from two stories up "inside the high school." What a riot that was! Please accept my deepest sympathy. She lived life to the fullest when I knew her 40 years ago and I have no doubt that she did the same until the last moment. When a person with such a huge personality as Micki dies, a very large space is left. Seek the only one who is big enough fill the entire emptiness, Jesus Christ. Blessings, Stephanie Klinzing Zaczkowski
