Roswitha Lenz Hendrix's Obituary
Roswitha Hendrix was born on January 15, 1934 in Trier, Germany and passed away surrounded by family and loved ones on May 27, 2018 in Puyallup, WA. She earned her nursing degree at a nursing school in Cologne, Germany in 1954. It was while she was working as a nurse at an American Military Hospital in Germany that she met the love of her life, Air Force Airman Fredrick Hendrix to whom she was married for 62 years until his passing in 2017. Their military career and life took them and their family to exciting assignments all over the world which included Germany on three different occasions, Spokane, WA, Omaha, Nebraska, Colorado Springs, CO, Ankara, Turkey and Tacoma, WA where they finally settled in 1976. Roswitha enjoyed the travel, meeting new people and working in her yard. She had a passion for tending to the flowers in her beautiful flower garden. Roswitha enjoyed spending time with her family the most. She was a dedicated wife, mother and doting “Oma”. She is survived by three children and their families including three grandchildren. Roswitha will be greatly missed by all who came to know and love her. A private family service is planned. Please no flowers or gifts.
