Obituary
Susan Lanore Stockers
Susan Lanore Stockers, of La Crosse, Wisconsin, passed away on November 5, 2026, at Gundersen Emplify Health in La Crosse. She was born on June 6, 1947, to Clarence and Margaret Morehouse.
Susan married the love of her life, William Stockers, on September 14, 1968, at St. James Catholic Church in La Crosse.
Throughout her working years, Susan enjoyed sewing. She spent many years making comforters at The Company Store and previously worked for Jack Winters Co. She also had the opportunity to work alongside her mother at Jim Stansfield Vending Co.
While Susan took pride in her work, her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She especially treasured the time she shared with her granddaughters and great-granddaughters. She also had a love for gardening and flowers, filling her yard with beautiful blooms. One of her favorite pastimes was sitting on her porch, listening to the birds and watching them visit her feeders. She loved her feathered visitors so much that she went through nearly a loaf of bread a day feeding them!
Susan is survived by her brother, Fred (Bib) Puent; sister, Sharon (David) Klum; sister-in-law, Barb Morehouse; son, Troy Stockers; daughter, Laura (Brad) Johnson; granddaughters, Amber (Eric) Schmidt and Ashley Johnson; and great-granddaughters, Aubriana and Madelyn Schmidt.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Margaret Morehouse; her brother, James Morehouse; and her husband, William Stockers.
Susan will be remembered for her love of family, her beautiful flowers, and the simple joys that made life special. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at The Gathering Place, 133 Mason Street, Onalaska on Thursday, November 19, 2026. Interment will be at Oak Grove Cemetery.
I remember Sue and her Mother Margaret when they were cooks at Aquinas…working for Stansfield. All the kids loved them and there was an ongoing teasing match between Margaret/Sue vs the students. I have to say..they were much wiser than the students and always had the upper hand. They were both great ladies and fun to talk with….the good old days. If my math serves me correctly…Sue would have been 25 years old at the time. It sounds like she enjoyed a good life with a great family. God bless Sue..her mother Margaret and her brother Jim…who I knew very well from our Northside neighborhood.
