It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Frances Mary Bartz of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, who entered God's loving arms on May 15, 2025, surrounded by the love of her husband and children. Born on September 10, 1942, in San Antonio, Texas, Frances graced the world with warmth, hospitality, kindness, forgiveness and love of God. She was loved by many.
Frances lived a life marked by many abilities but will best be remembered for her ability to cook the best Mexican food, ever. Her cooking was loved by her husband, children, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, grandchildren and many, many friends from all over. She loved animals and loved her pets with the fullest of heart.
Frances is survived by her husband, Jerome (Jerry) R Bartz, sons and daughters Troy (Jennifer) Bartz, Thomas (Beth Anne) Bartz, Gina Bartz, Tyrone (Clarence) Bartz, Serena Bartz and Travis (Latasha) Bartz; grandchildren Isaiah Bartz and Rhyen (Colin McGraw) Bartz and Donald Frank, great grandmother to Carter McGraw, loving daughter of Pasqual and Mary Alonzo, cherished daughter-in-law to Ernest and Elsie Bartz and countless loved ones who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.
A special thank you to Zilber Family Hospice for the amazing and professional loving care that was provided.
As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate the incredible life of Frances Bartz who led a life filled with love, kindness and cheer. May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all who knew her. Forever in our hearts, you will be missed very much.
Visitation will be held at Krause Funeral Home, 21600 West Capitol Drive, Brookfield, Wisconsin from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM followed by services by the Reverend Father Kenneth Augustine on Friday, May 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM, where family and friends will gather to honor her legacy and share stories of joy and love.
