Nancy Deitz

Early in the morning hours of Palm Sunday, March 20, 2016, Nancy J. Deitz, age 77, was taken into the arms of her Lord and Savior, following a short battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family during her final hours.

Nancy was born in Logansport, IN, February 5, 1939 and married Jerry Deitz in 1955. They moved to Berlin, WI in 1968. Following 13 years of building Jerry's TV and Antenna business, Jerry and Nancy realized their dream of building a home of their own in the woods when they moved to Wautoma. During their life in Wautoma, they were quite active with Trinity Lutheran Church and Nancy worked as a secretary at the church for 7 years. Following Jerry's tragic death in 1999, Nancy lived with her oldest son in Berlin, her youngest son in Butternut, on her own and with her daughter in Neenah for the next 16 years.

Nancy was preceded in death by her husband: Jerry Deitz (1999) and son: James Deitz (2001). Surviving family members include her children: Joni Hallman (Linda Lillge), Jerry Andrew Deitz (Mickey Deitz), John Deitz (Lori Deitz); eight grandchildren, Brian Hallman (Barbara Hallman), Joshua Deitz, Joseph Deitz, Jessie Deitz, Benjamin Deitz, Luke Deitz, Jacob Deitz, and Isaiah Deitz; seven great grandchildren including Miriam Hallman and Elijah Hallman.
