Ainsley Ruth Eytcheson

— Funeral services for Ainsley Ruth Eytcheson, 3 month old infant daughter of Marcus and Alisa (Patsche) Eytcheson, will be held on Saturday, September 11, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. at the Zion Lutheran Church in Fraser Township, MN (1623 170th St. Fairmont, MN). Burial will be held following the service in the Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in Fraser Township. Visitation will be Friday, September 10, 2010, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lakeview Funeral Home in Fairmont. Ainsley passed away on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, at the Fairmont Medical Center in Fairmont, MN.  The Lakeview Funeral Home of Fairmont (205 Albion Ave Fairmont, MN) is assisting the family with arrangements.

Ainsley Ruth Eytcheson was born on May 25, 2010, at the Immanuel St. Joseph’s Hospital in Mankato, MN, the daughter of Marcus D. and Alisa S. (Patsche) Eytcheson.  She was baptized at the Zion Lutheran Church in Fraser Township, MN.

Ainsley had a bubbly personality and a contagious laugh.  When not laughing Ainsley brought joy to her family through her smile and strength.  One favorite activity for her was playing patty cake especially the part “bake me a cake as fast as you can.”

Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Marcus and Alisa Eytcheson of Fairmont, MN; maternal grandparents, Charles and Wanda Patsche of Welcome, MN; paternal grandmother, Cairne Eytcheson of Truman, MN; great-grandparents, Norma Patsche of Welcome, MN, Marilyn and Louis Schott of Fairmont, MN, and Yonsey Karasek of Hayward, WI; aunts and uncles, Teresa and Dion Montgomery and their children, Cadence & Jadyn; Kristeena Patsche; Heather and Todd Earl and their children, Brendan, Payton, and Jordyn; Dawn and Andy Christensen and their children, Logan and Noah; Wes Eytcheson and his children, Breece and Kyra; and Chad Eytcheson and his special friend Jenn Wick; as well as many other cousins, extended family and friends.

Ainsley is preceded in death by her grandfather, George Eytcheson and great-grandparents, James Patsche, Sadie Eytcheson, Fred Eytcheson, and Donald Bower.
