v Megan Elizabeth Sonsalla, 24 of Holmen, WI went to be with our Lord on May 16, 2016. She was surrounded by family and those who loved her.
Megan was born on December 6th, 1991, in La Crosse, WI to Jeffrey Sonsalla and Debra (Lisowski) Goetting. She was a 2012 graduate of Arcadia High School, and moved to Holmen the same year. She was a fun loving, quirky girl who easily captured the hearts of all who came to know her. She took delight in making jokes and playing tricks, always keeping her loved ones on their toes. Megan loved all animals and small babies, but she especially loved her teddy bears. Megan radiated true and honest feelings, and taught those around her what absolutely real happiness looked like. Deja, on behalf of the REM staff and caregivers, stated "I do not stand alone when I say she taught us so much more than we ever taught her...... she taught me that a good quality of life sometimes means that we need to take some risks." Megan taught us all how to appreciate life.
Megan is survived by her parents, Debra (Chad) Goetting of Arcadia and Jeffrey (Jennifer) Sonsalla of Fort Worth, TX, sisters; Katelyn (Kyle) Kulig, Cassandra Sonsalla, Kylie Goetting, Alexandria Pabst, and Danika Pabst. Brother; Jason Garverick; grandparents; Andy and JoAnne Lisowski, Paul and Margaret Goetting, and Bernard and Laurie Holen; great grandparents; Inga Allen and Deloris DeMoss; and many, many Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, and caregivers.
