Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 25, 2016, at St. Mary’s Polish National Catholic Church, in Lublin. Rev.

Minnie A. Klosowski was born on May 29, 1920, in Chicago, IL, to Walter, Sr. and Nettie (Zdancewicz) Klosowski. As a young girl, her family moved to a farm in the Lublin area, where she was raised and received her education. Minnie developed many skills and talents growing up and helping her parents on the farm. She was united in marriage to her loving husband, Edward Galarowicz, on September 20, 1939. Together they raised their family and farmed successfully for 42 years until retiring in 1981. In retirement, Minnie was an avid gardener who nurtured her flowers and gardens with loving care. She was most happy when spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and had a special relationship with each one of them. Minnie was, and will continue to be, greatly loved and admired by her family.

She is survived by her children: Virginia (Bruce) Luraas of Withee, WI, James (Kathy) of Excelsior, MN, Debra (Gordy) Palms of Withee, WI, Diane Galarowicz of Lublin; 14 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; one son-in-law, Ted Wojkiewicz of Stanley; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Eddie, on October 29, 1985; two daughters: Delores Wasylko and Alice Wojkiewicz; one grandson, Charles Copeland; four sisters: Lillian Bjornestad, Jeannette Krieger, Eleanor Nowak, Jane Lencz; and one brother, Walter Klosowski, Jr.
