Our dear Margaret departed this world on April 21 to be with the lord. Her pain and suffering is over. Margaret was born May 5, 1935 to Louise and Paul Stutzka. Her love for music started with her dad who played the fiddle. Margaret sang as a young girl with her family and played piano. That love of music never left her. She sang and played accordion in the "family band" which was with her husband Ted; brothers, Jim and Ralph; and her daughter Sue.
Because of Margaret's crippling disease, rheumatoid arthritis, she only worked for a short period of time at Filter Supply. She then became a housewife taking care of her children, Sue and Steve. She played music and sang as a hobby to occupy her time and to bring her pleasure. Margaret suffered a lot through her lifetime, but never complained. She and her husband Ted, of 59 years, always took care of each other. Margaret had a way of making people laugh and never holding back any thoughts she might have, good or bad. She will be missed by many close friends and family. She was an inspiration to us all.
Margaret is survived by her husband, Ted Pientok; daughter, Sue Pientok; grandson, Matthew (Sara) Pientok; great-grandchildren, Ethan and Lilly; siblings, Aggie Christianson, Marcella (Wally) Northhouse, Richard (Cathy) Stutzka and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; son, Steven; siblings, Ralph, Jim, Ed and Rose.
A memorial service will be held at 12pm, Tuesday, April 26 at the Hoff Celebration of Life Center-Goodview with a visitation starting one hour prior. Interment will be held at a later date at Woodlawn Cemetery.
