Lillian Pearl Hainstock, 90 years 5 months, went home to her Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 8, 2016. She was born on April 10, 1926, in Bloomer, WI, to Richard (Charlie) and Edith (Boese) Rogge. Lillian graduated from Colfax High School in 1944. On April 24, 1945, she married Lloyd Hainstock. Early in their marriage they farmed and in 1960 they owned and operated Lloyd's DX in Colfax. Lillian was a long time member of Colfax United Methodist Church, where she was active in the choir, a member of United Methodist Women and Rachel Circle where she held many leadership positions; she was a Sunday School teacher and superintendent. Lillian was also a member of Colfax Merry Mixers and sang with the Red Cedar Sounds Sweet Adelines Chorus of Colfax. Lillian loved to cook and bake, especially cookies for beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren and for visitors who stopped by to visit. Her red strawberry cookie jar always had cookies. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, and keeping her beautiful flower gardens blooming. Lillian also loved to spend time fishing, playing cards - especially "Gotcha" - with family and friends. Camping at Myron Park was a special time on weekends whenever possible.
