On the evening before Election Day, Wisconsin Rapids City Clerk Jennifer Gossick came home from work and told her husband, Lee, that everything was set for the election. For weeks, she had scrupulously overseen the city’s many election tasks, from recruiting poll workers to managing early voting, accounting for all eventualities. But even as she prepared for Election Day, Gossick was dying of cancer she didn’t know she had. Her failing health was clear to those closest to her: She would tire after taking several steps, having to sit and bend at the waist just to get a clear breath. But Gossick wouldn’t consider — or even discuss — her health until the November election was done, she told her husband. She collapsed the morning of Election Day at her home. She died that afternoon at a local hospital. “She worked every day up until the election to make sure they would run meticulously, and then her body gave out,” Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Matt Zacher said, calling it a “dedication to the integrity of elections

WISCONSIN RAPIDS − A 40-year-old Marshfield woman was sentenced to six months in jail in connection with the theft of about $120,000 from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield. Iilee R. Pederson did more than just steal money from the charity that helps families of children going through medical problems, said a member of the group's board of directors who spoke during Pederson's Nov. 10 plea hearing and sentencing. She also stole the trust the board, volunteers, staff and families put in her. Pederson pleaded guilty to money laundering and three counts of theft in a business setting. As part of a plea agreement, five counts of making fraudulent writings and two counts of misdemeanor theft were dismissed but considered during sentencing.
