Virginia (Ginny) Loose Chasensky, age 83, was called home to heaven on January 25, 2010, at Shady Lane Care Center in Manitowoc.
Ginny was born on July 8, 1926, in Milwaukee, the daughter of John and Ida (Parlow) Porte.
She graduated the class of 1944 from Rufus King High School in Milwaukee and afterward worked as a secretary for a neon sign manufacturer.
It was at this company where she met and fell in love with her first husband, Earl L. Loose. They married in September 1947. In 1956, the couple purchased a tavern and moved to Newton. Together, they operated Earl and Ginny's Ye Old Tap until Earl passed away on March 27, 1966.
Two years later, through close mutual friends, Ginny was introduced to Raymond Chasensky. Raymond, a widower from his loving wife, Anne (Kopidlansky) Chasensky, had six children. On August 7, 1968, Ginny and Ray were married and together, they and their children became one very large family, fondly referred to as "hers, mine and ours!" He and Ginny continued to run the tavern until 1972, when they sold it and moved to their "little piece of paradise" on Newton Road.
Ginny had many unique experiences in her life and was never afraid to boldly go where few women of her time would have ventured. She played high school women's basketball in the early 1940's when there were not many women competitors. In the 1950's, she went to work in the factory, when many women were stay-at-home wives and mothers. As a young widow in the 1960's, Ginny single-handedly raised her children and, at the same time, operated the tavern. After selling the tavern, she returned to work at Mirro Aluminum Company in the Boat Plant Division. She retired from Mirro in 1988. Virginia was a 53-year member of St. John and St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cleveland, WI. Her other past affiliations include the Manitowoc County Tavern League, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary (Cleveland) and the US Steel Workers Union. She was also a very talented artist and loved to draw cutout dolls and clothes for her daughters and granddaughters. Ginny was also known for her prolific letter writing and card sending, she never forgot birthdays, weddings or other special occasions. Many of the cards contained her signature $5.00 bill.
However, more than all her personal and professional skills and accomplishments, Ginny loved and cherished her family. She was immensely proud of her nine children and sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. More often than not, upon meeting or visiting with her, Ginny would relate a story about one of her kids or grandkids. She utilized various modes of transportation (buses, plane, automobiles and even moving vans) to travel all over the country to visit sons, daughters and grandchildren. She deeply cared about and reached out to other people throughout her life and consequently, was blessed with many friends and acquaintances. Ginny will be greatly missed by all.
Survivors include her sons, Roger (Marlene) Loose, Newton, Jeffrey (Chris) Loose, Manitowoc, Raymond Chasensky (Kelly Dettman), Peshtigo, Thomas (Cheryl) Chasensky, Braidwood, IL, and Tony (Joy) Chasensky, St. Paul, MN; daughters, Cheryl (Jerry) Loose Spragg, Virginia, MN, Susan Blaufuss, Prophetstown, IL, and Mary (Bob) Steele, El Paso, Texas. Precious grandchildren, Becky Chasensky, Sheila (Craig) Sprang, Eddie Joe Franel, Bob Franel, Mike Chasensky, Scott (Rina) Meyers, Tracy (Jason) Tucker, Jenna Loose, Eric (Heather) Machia, Nikki Meier, Michelle Chasensky, Mary Chasensky, Brian Chasensky and Hallie Chasensky and 17 great-grandchildren. Ginny was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, Earl and Raymond; brothers and sisters-in-law, Roland (Kay) Porte and Elmer (Irma) Porte; daughter and son-in-law, Carol Chasensky Franel and Edward Franel; grandson, Joey Chasensky; and granddaughter, Serena Loose.
Funeral services held January 29, 2010, at St. John and St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cleveland. Pastor David Endorf will officiate and burial at St. Johannes Cemetery in Cleveland.
