Breaking our hearts, Olivia DeMae Kizewski aka Alexis Kannenberg (32) died Sunday, August 27, 2023. Olivia fought a brave battle for five years with breast cancer, which metastasized and ravaged her body. Even knowing that she was dying, Olivia was a beaming ray of hope and courage.

Olivia was born November 28, 1990, to Ralph Kizewski and Patty (Omernik) Knight in Marshfield, WI. Throughout her life, she lived in various places in Central Wisconsin and in Memphis, TN, only returning to Wisconsin when the cancer became more profound. Olivia loved traveling, and realized her dream of swimming in the Ocean during a trip to Cocoa Beach, Florida, and swam with manatees in Crystal River, Florida.

Olivia's great love was for her two sons. She was a great LaLa (mom) to Luneth and never stopped loving him and Nolan. Everything she did was for her boys, and she fought so hard to be here longer for them.

Olivia is survived by her life partner Tyler Kannenberg, Wausau; and children Nolan Kizewski and Luneth Kannenberg. She is further survived by her parents, Ralph (Joanne Goskowicz) Kizewski, Wittenberg and Patty Knight of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; grandparents John and Rita Goskowicz, Wittenberg; siblings, Daniel (April) Warriner, Concord, NH; Cory Blake, Stevens Point; John and Van Williams, Weston; Evelyn (Kaine) Bernarde, Birnamwood; and Parker Omernik, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She is further survived by nieces and nephews Cam, Nick, Brinley, Braelyn, and great niece Willow. Olivia is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends, especially her favorite Aunt Karla (Scott) Wanta, Stevens Point; Amber Zorn, Plover; and Kristin and Rick Steff, Memphis, TN.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents Joseph and Cecelia Kizewski, Robert and Patsy Omernik, stepfather Robert Knight, uncles Gaius Auklandus aka Richard Kizewski and Allen Kizewski, aunts Grace Kizewski and Deborah Omernik, and stepsister Rebekah Williams.

The family appreciates the overwhelming care and support provided by both Aspirus Cancer Center and Aspirus Hospice during the progression of this disease. Also noteworthy was the constant care by Amber Zorn and Aunt Karla Wanta.

A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, October 1, 2023 from noon till 3 pm in the Village Hall in Elderon, WI, address: 183987 WI-153, Eland, WI 54427
