Visitation for Frenchi will be Saturday, May 30, 2026 at Holy Apostle Church, 16000 W National Ave, New Berlin from 10am to 11am with Funeral Mass following at 11am. Frenchi was a special person and will be greatly missed in so many ways.

Numerous people have asked if and when there would be a service for Lion Frenchi Trottier-Wasilewski. We found out late last evening that there will be a Visitation Sat, May 30th at 10:00am at Holy Apostles Church, 16000 W National Ave, New Berlin, with a Funeral Mass to follow at 11:00am.
