Support for Bubba(Gary) & Rita Stolt

Update on Gary and Rita:

Rita is currently in Rochester, MN recovering from The Whipple Procedure for her Pancreatic Cancer. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as we Trust in our Gracious God for a swift and complete recovery. She is such a Fighter! 

Gary continues his cancer journey as well. He travels for dialysis three days a week. The goal of his treatment is to remain comfortable and as “pain free” as possible. 

We recently celebrated Mother’s Day together!  What a Gift!  The day brought us together for Worship and of course, Rita’s Beautiful singing voice in Church, Our Grandkids Piano Recital, A Taco Supper at Jacob and Janelle’s House with our combined families and Gary giving his First Grandson Hans, “Baseball pointers” as he practiced with Jacob!! 

All of us look forward to more “Memorable Moments” with Gary and Rita Stolt!!  Thank You for all you have done and continue to do. Your love and support is Greatly Appreciated!!!

Hi, my name is Angie Harder. Bubba(Gary) and Rita Stolt became a part of our family when their youngest daughter Janelle, married our son Jacob in August of 2010. We have shared and enjoyed many special occasions together in the past twelve years. Grandchildren will do that!!! This past year Bubba’s health had been failing but he continued to work for his younger brother Billy at his restaurant. If you have ever tasted the delicious charcoal chicken from Billy’s Grill & Catering in Bloomer, WI chances are that Bubba grilled it. Bubba’s brother Billy died unexpectedly at the end of July. Shortly before this, Bubba finally realized he needed medical attention himself. Bubba was eventually diagnosed with Prostate Cancer that has metastasized to his bones. He has been in and out of the hospital since July.

At the end of October Bubba was once again admitted into the hospital. It was during this stay that it became very apparent that Bubba’s wife Rita was not well herself. She was immediately admitted into the hospital as well. Later that week she was sadly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Rita has been a Faithful Servant for our Gracious Lord as a Christian Day School Teacher at St Paul Lutheran School in Bloomer for the past twenty one years. She is currently unable to fulfill her responsibilities as a teacher. Rita will be starting chemotherapy within the next week. Bubba and Rita are ages 64 and 59 and have been married for 42 years , have four daughters, three son-in-laws, and have eight beautiful grandchildren. They have given generously of their time and talents over the years to Bloomer and the surrounding area. They need our prayers, love, and financial support as they navigate through this difficult journey. Any contribution you are able to give will be greatly appreciated. Thank You for loving and supporting Bubba and Rita Stolt.
