Cheryl Ann Pietzke's Obituary
CHERYL ANN (KAY) PIETZKE
9/15/56-2/2/10
Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother passed away with her family at her side after a vigorous battle with ovarian cancer.
Our mother was a lifelong resident of Tacoma. She went to Gray Jr. HS and graduated from Mt. Tahoma HS in 1975. She worked for the Tacoma School District and missed the staff and students at Foss HS when she became too ill to work. Mom, who left us all too early, was a beautiful, intelligent, caring, and giving person. She loved her husband (Bob), her children, and her God. Though busy, she always put her children first. Mom loved reading, gardening, and packing up the family and going for a hike.
Preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Vivian Kay, Mom is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, Robert Pietzke; her son, Steve; daughter-in-law, Jayme; her daughters, Tamara and Brittany; grandchildren, Chase and Ava; niece and nephew, Tommy and Mackenzie; brothers, Danny and David; sisters, Linda Koch and Donna Steinbrugge; and numerous other family members and friends.
Mom, you were a special person. You mean so much to us. We love you more than words can ever express. A piece of our hearts went missing when you left us. We will truly miss you every day of our lives. Thank you for everything.
