Barbara Feichtinger Obituary
On September 11, 1954, she married Ralph Feichtinger at Our Lady of Lourdes in River Rouge, Michigan, beginning a partnership that would last a lifetime. Barbara was cherished by all who knew her for her unwavering loyalty, boundless generosity, and remarkable sense of humor.
She is survived by her four children: Tom (Lynn), Dave (Debbie), Ralph Jr. (Andrea), and Mary Theisen. Known affectionately as "Mimi Precious" to her eight grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, Barbara was the heart of her family, serving as a beloved friend, mentor, and matriarch. Her legacy of love and wisdom will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
In accordance with her wishes, no funeral will be held. Barbara will be laid to rest in Luther, Michigan, beside her beloved husband. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories of her vibrant spirit and the profound impact she had on their lives.

I always felt like Mrs Fitz was like my second mom. When I was a kid she was always teasing. I can still hear her sayin "oh Charlie" always smiling. I have no words only memory's. I'm going to miss you Mrs Fitz. Love you always.

Mimi, my beautiful, beautiful grandmother. I don´t even know where to begin. You were the most amazing person, a ray of sunshine with the best sense of humor. We are so lucky to say you were ours. My kids will always call you "Mimi cookie" because you always had cookies whenever they´d visit. I will miss the stories you would tell, I miss going up north to Mimi & Papas, I will miss the trips we have gone on together, I miss you living next door to mom & dad and being able to visit whenever, I will miss you coming to cheer on the kids at their baseball games, the love for the dogs too! Thank you for being such an amazing grandmother, thank you for the memories, I will cherish forever.

Mimi always knew how to put a smile on my face. I´ll never forget all the memories going up north to Mimi & Papas & her living right next door to us for awhile. I feel so lucky I had her in my life. It gives me peace knowing she´s reunited with Papa. Love you Mimi

It's with a heavy heart that I have fond memories of Aunt Barb, who practically raised me until I was 10 or so. I remember growing up with Tom on both Dwight St. and then on Cicotte. She had me most days as my Mom, Lois Feichtinger worked. Heck, I was with Aunt Barb more than Mom. I still have vivid memories playing with Tom at both places. I'm gonna miss my Aunt Barb.
All My love, Dennis Feichtinger.
