Publish in a newspaper
Beloved and cherished wife of the late Robert M. Percha and her legacy continues by her children, Robert (April) Percha, Theresa (Jeffrey) M. Boyer, Andrew (Amy) Percha, and Kristen (Darrell) Miszkowski, and by her forever loved grandchildren, Kylie Percha, Grace Percha, Piper Miszkowski, and Bennett Percha, along with her siblings Christine Wiedenhold, Gary Wegener and Donna Cobb.
Her journey began on July 10, 1944, when she was born to Gerhard and Marie Wegener. After living in Center Line, she graduated from St. Clement High School and studied nursing in Bay City. In 1966, she married her soul mate Robert Percha.
Along her journey, Lou touched many lives by being a nurse, being an avid reader, by bringing people together through her adventurous spirit, endless travel, organizing reunions, effortlessly hosting meals and gatherings, caregiving and sharing news articles and items with her many adored family members and numerous precious friends.
Lou lived her best and faith filled life by always placing others needs before her needs. She accepted all people into her life with an open heart, open arms, and perpetual smile. Her family and friends will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest, just as she did.
A celebration of her life will be held at Rudy Funeral Home, 25650 Van Dyke in Center Line, on Wednesday, November 13th from 1pm to 8pm with a 6:30pm Rosary. Instate Thursday, November 14th at 10:30am for 11am mass at St. Mary, Our Lady Queen of Families Catholic Church in Center Line. Lou requested no flowers for her services and that donations be made in her name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Please visit www.rudyfuneral.com to share a memory or light a candle.

Our family's friendship began in Caseville. Our parents were good summer friends that continued for years and included trips to Arizona and North Carolina to see each other. Lou brought such joy and kindness everywhere she went. She will be missed. We have four special angels in heaven now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Lisa Corneliussen (Bob and Gail Young's daughter)

I was sharing with your Aunt Chris how your dear mom fought her fight on her own terms with dignity, humanity, and her always gentle sense of humor. She was a very caring person who will be truly missed. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love, Gerry and Donna Rinke
