Lois - September 2007

Lois Seiler

After graduating from Algoma High School, Lois attended a one-year course at Northwest Institute of Medical Technology in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Upon completion, she was licensed as a laboratory technician and was initially employed for one year at Lakeland Hospital in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. When a similar position became available at Door County Memorial Hospital in Sturgeon Bay, Lois decided to return to the area where she had grown up in northeastern Wisconsin. It did not take her long to decide that this was where she enjoyed living and made it her home. Lois married E. B. (Pete) Mickelson on 27 December 1956 in Sturgeon Bay. Pete was also employed in the health care field and eventually became the administrator at Door County Memorial. Lois worked as a laboratory technician at Memorial for a number of years, but also worked for physicians in their offices as well as managing a free standing clinic for five years. After a long illness, Pete died in 1998 and Lois was left alone to begin a new career.

In 1989, she made a decision to enter the Real Estate world as a Sales Associate and found this to be a welcome change and a new challenge. Over the 20 years since she has enjoyed a highly successful career, with the highlight being the ability to interface with her many business associates and clients. All those who have ever met Lois know she is a "people" person and enjoys life to the fullest. As of January 1, 2009, she is still enjoying the work and will stay with ERA Starr Realty in Sturgeon Bay for at least part of the year 2009 before considering retirement.

Pete and Lois have two children. Peter lives in Green Bay; Rachel resides in Houston Texas.

Her parents, of whom she is most proud, were Minnie and Frank Seiler of Carnot, Door County, Wisconsin.
