  Obituary	Leota Mae Ecker, a woman of faith, kindness, and loving unselfishness, died Monday, June 19, 2017, at University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. She was 91. An active church member, Lee taught Sunday School and served on many hospitality committees. She lead both Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, and was library custodian for years in her retirement community in Florida. At her death, she was a mission partner at New Heights Lutheran Church in Black Earth. Foremost, Lee was a loving wife and mother. Anything she could do, bake, make, attend, serve for her husband or their three children was her calling. Any way she could make her husband's, her children's, her grandchildren's or great grandchildren's lives better was her passion. Always with a smile, Lee was everybody's Mom. Born July 11, 1925, in New London, Wis., Lee was the only child of Myrlon and Margaret Zaug Seims. She married Eugene C. Ecker in 1945, and they raised their family in Appleton and Menasha, Wis., and Bronxville, N.Y., later living in Connecticut; Clearwater, Fla.; and finally Fitchburg, Wis. She is survived by her husband, two daughters – Linda (Dan) Fahrbach, Newburgh, N.Y.; and Cindy (Gary) Pregno, Highland, N.Y. – one son, Mike (Carole) Ecker, Black Earth, Wis. – seven grandchildren – Scot Ecker, Kelly Jones, Jessa Kinnamon, Heather Cavanaugh, Adam Pregno, Christopher Fahrbach and Casey Clark – and 20 great grandchildren. Ever most comfortable in an apron, Lee is remembered for her great baking, her dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies, her fried macaroni and her yum yum bars. Her enjoyment of all holidays was evident around the house, and she kept the front-porch goose statue well supplied with holiday clothing year-round. Her grandchildren remember her fondly for her playful ways, cheeseburgers at the counter at Woolworths, Skunk games on vacation, her Mary Poppins get-up and her notorious Christmas gifts, all piled in a festive heap at Grandma and Grandpa's. A Service of Resurrection and Hope was scheduled for Monday, June 26, at New Height's Lutheran Church, Black Earth, at 11 a.m., with Pastor Rob Nelson presiding. Inurnment is at Oak Hill Cemetery, Black Earth.
