Lucy Ann Iwanski, age 77, of Stevens Point, died on Sunday, December 7th, 2008 at Wausau Aspirus Hospital. Lucy died as a result of her battle with cancer. She died peacefully with family at her side. Lucy was born in Stevens Point on December 10, 1930, a daughter of the late Nicholas and Susan Yetka. During her 53 years of marriage to Leonard Iwanski, they were blessed to have a happy and healthy life on the Iwanski homestead farm in Amherst. Later the couple retired to Stevens Point. Lucy enjoyed playing cards, her hobby of sewing and traveling with her sisters. She especially loved watching her children and grandchildren play sports.
