Obituary For Makeisha Ann Poirier

Makeisha Ann Poirier, “Keeter”, 33, of Eau Claire passed away on Monday, October 21, 2024, at Mayo Clinic Health Systems-Eau Claire, surrounded by her loved ones.

Makeisha was born on May 11, 1991, to Shannon Poirier and Paula Ellenberger in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Makeisha graduated from Cadott High School in 2009.

Makeisha was employed at Maple Leaf Dental Clinic until January 2024. Makeisha had previously gotten her degree at the Salon Academy to be a beautician, worked as a Correctional Officer in Stanley, WI, worked at Sacred Heart Emergency Receptionist, was an Augusta-Bridge Creek firefighter and volunteered as a Special Olympics coach for basketball.

Makeisha had a passion for sports, especially softball, but also was in basketball, cheerleading and dance. She loved the Green Bay Packers, baseball, dancing, singing karaoke, scrapbooking, baking with her boys, traveling, and creating memories with her most treasured gifts, Landon and Levi.

Makeisha is survived by her sons, Landon Wilson and Levi Seichter of Altoona; her soulmate, Eric Rudzinski; her father, Shannon (Julie Kohls) Poirier of Fall Creek; mother, Paula (Donald) Berry of Augusta; brothers, Dustin Poirier of Stanley, Shane Poirier of Fall Creek, and Dakota Poirier of Augusta; Grandparents, Woody and Sue Rene of Fall Creek; and Bonus Brothers and sisters, Aurora (Chase) Becker, Alex Albrecht, Christopher (Jenny) Berry, Michael (Jackie) Berry, Donna (Loren) Lone, Amanda (Jonathan) Hunt, and Michelle (Mike) Hodgson; Nieces, Isabell Buttke, and Ava Poirier; Nephews, Quintin Poirier and Braden Poirier; and her cats, Elsa and Chloe.

Makeisha was preceded in death by her Paternal Grandparents, Golden and Bernadean Poirier; Maternal Grandparents, Kenneth and Allyna Ellenberger; Bonus Mom, Rhonda Poirier; Cousins, Bianca Ellenberger and Zekia Hodgson; her Yorkie, Maxxwell; and her “roommate,” Janice.

Makeisha was always the life of the party with her contagious laugh, her spunky sassy attitude, and her unexpected, spontaneous comments and remarks. She made every moment memorable for those around her with her unfiltered energy and genuinely, unconditionally loved her family and friends.

Makeisha will be deeply missed by her Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends.

A Memorial Service will be Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 12:00 pm at Oasis Church in Eau Claire with Pastor Landon Huie officiating. A visitation will be from 9:00 am until the time of service at the church on Saturday.

    We showed up to our parents wedding in dresses with the same exact pattern, didn't plan it but looked super cute walking down the aisle together. That's the day I gained a sister! Didn't ever think we'd have such a short amount of time with you. -Love you seester ❤️🪽

    Sometimes when one or both of us were going through a hard time, we'd come to each other and we couldn't always find the words to say so we'd just tell each other "I love you. " That's where I'm at. I don't have the words to say because I'm not processing this as a real life event. But.. I love you. 🥺

    There was a time Keeter was throwing fire pops at me while I was going down the hill next to her house on Sandy Hill. I think about that often. I'm going to miss you so much Keeter, I wish you would've had it better. I love you.

    Dear Makeisha, I wanted to thank you for being there for me back at ECA. I was in a rough spot in my life but you always cheered me up. I find peace in knowing you are no longer in pain but I mourn for you. Thank you for giving me the chance to know you ❤️

    Makeisha was an RCA in a youth facility I attended as a teen. The impact she made on me and many other young girls has followed us into adulthood. She was one of the first women to give many of us girls hope for our future. I will never forget the empathy and compassion she showed us. She has positively impacted SO many lives. Sending hugs to her boys, her partner, and her family.
