Marjorie Fitchett Obituary
New Port Richey, FL - Marjorie (Midge) Fitchett (Wolfertz) 100, passed peacefully at home July 15, 2018 in New Port Richey, Florida. Born 1918 in Clearwater Lake, Wisconsin. Midge lived most of her life in Green Bay and was a dedicated Packer fan until age 100. Midge loved sports, but preferred to let her family participate while she commonly referred to herself as "equipment manager".
Midge is survived by (3) sons: Terry Fitchett (Denise) -New Port Richey, FL, Tom Fitchett (Cynthia)- Houston, TX and Richard Fitchett (Karen) -Green Bay, WI. (7) Grand children Jason Fitchett (Melanie), Jessica Fitchett- Garcia (Carlos), Christopher Fitchett (Candice), Kevin Fitchett (Rachel), Alicia Dunning- Fitchett (Ben), Danny Fitchett, Kenzie Fitchett, Alexandra Fitchett. (8) Great- great grandchildren and Midges favorite grandchild dog, Gracie.
Midge was truly an angel sent by our lord to gently guide and give advice to many of us, but only if asked. Midge listened well to others and gave unconditional love to every person she came to know. Midge is preceded in death by her husband Larry Fitchett (married 65 years), her twin sister Margaret Hennig and her brother Cy Wolfertz. She is now at peace and eternal rest with them.
Midge repeatedly expressed her sincere gratitude to Denise Van Den Heuvel, her special caregiver the past 3 years. Midge also was extremely grateful to her granddaughters Alexandra and Jessica who inspired Midge to live life to the fullest until her last breath. She was also very thankful her sons and their wives could spend so much quality time with her at her home in Florida. Midge also expresses thanks to Jason, Melanie & Will Fitchett and John & Julie Biolo for all the happiness they provided her.
As Midge requested, a get together lunch will be served to all family and friends. Music by Karen & Alicia Fitchett and a special bag pipe entertainer will preform at Wally's Spot Supper Club at 1979 Main Street in Green Bay, Saturday August 25, 2018 at 11:30 AM.

Midge was so positive. To live 100 yrs I think you have to be positive. I last saw Midge 5 yrs ago at my dad's funeral. She was with Larry. She was the same sweet, lovely and patient lady I knew as the mother of my friends, Tom, Terry and Rick. God bless you all. Sincere condolences.

To the family of Midge Fitchett,
Sue and I extend our condolences to you on the passing of Midge. She was ready. As Christians we believe that life has changed, not ended, It was always a pleasure to visit Midge and Larry. They were a model couple for married couples to follow. They were among the most hospitable parishioners that we called upon. I remember that sometimes they would attend Ss. Peter and Paul in Green Bay. They told us that they liked the noon Mass as it allowed them to sleep in. It will be a pleasure seeing them again in eternal life with the Lord.
