Martha Litz Obituary
June 26, 1945 - June 26, 2025
Martha I. "Marcie" Litz, age 80, passed away peacefully on her birthday, June 26, 2025.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward "Gene" Litz; her parents, Donald and Laura Smith; sisters, Carol Rosser and Linda Smith; and brothers, Donald, Larry, and Kelly Smith.
Marcie is survived by her daughters, Leah (Wayne) Rischling and Patricia (Matt) Conradson; grandchildren, Jessica (Dan) Truckenmiller, Brett (Amanda) Rischling, Taylor (Seph) Fauver, Cheyenne, and Scarlett Conradson; and great-grandchildren, Calvin and Wesley Truckenmiller, Makenna and Lilian Rischling, and Eleanor and Eloise Fauver.
She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Dorothy Lucas, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
Marcie found joy in life's simple pleasures: watching hummingbirds, collecting wind chimes, cross stitching with care, and camping at the lake with family. She was part of a strong and enduring family legacy that lives on through her children and grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 100 S. 9th St., Springfield, NE 68059.

I had the pleasure of meeting Marcie and her welcoming smile in 1993 when she was one of my first supervisors at OTC. I wish I could have stayed in touch with her, but am so grateful for memories of her friendship and the direction she provided me as a new employee. My prayers and sympathy to Marcie and family.
