Pittz Bonnie Jean Pilling

Our Mom, Bonnie Jean Pilling Pittz died May 29th, one month from her 86th Birthday.  She was forever young!  She was born to Henry Joseph Pilling and Ann Kathryn Kieffer, on June 29,1938.

She married our Dad, Clarence Pittz (deceased)  in Mineral Point, Wi on Mar 2, 1957.  They worked together farming, raising a family and traveling throughout the world.   As members of the Dodge Point Country Club, they golfed for many years with family and friends, especially enjoying the Annual Pilling Golf Open.  

Her pride were her girls: Marlene Kendrick (Jack Rundel); Connie McCarville (Mike); Gwen Johnston (Jerry deceased); Penny DeBuhr (Gary); Angela Schmitz (Todd)

We all loved her. She was always there to greet us when we got home from school with home baked goodies and homework assistance.   Over the years, she watched us grow and taught us well.  She saw us go out on our own and prayed for each of us as a devout Catholic. Some of us needed more prayers than others. She loved all of her son-in-laws and they loved her.  Our families grew, giving her grandchildren to spoil:  Joseph, Nicole, Jenn, Bryan, Amanda, Garrett, Amber, Boone and Logan.  They then brought the Great Grandchildren: Meagan, Luke, Taylor, Addison, Demi, Bode and Rylee.  When we all were together, the house was filled with antics, love and laughter.

She will be dearly missed by all.

Mom is Survived by Sister Carol Cassidy, Brothers Harry, Tom, Glen, Bill, and Bob (Deceased Kaye, Patti, Doug, Joe,and step siblings Bud, MaryEllen and Joanne)
