Marlene HETZNECKER Obituary

Feb. 28th, 1942 - Feb. 14th, 2019 Marlene Ann Hetznecker, originally from St. Paul, MN, passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her loving family. Marlene is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 56 years Lyle Hetznecker; her two children, Greg Hetznecker (Linda Rusnacko) and Kim Ahern (Andy); as well as by her three adored grandchildren, Thomas Ahern (Kelsey), Lauren Pitera (Rudy), and Ellie Ahern. She was preceded in death by her parents, Anthony and Mary Pitzl; as well as by her best friend and sister, Carol Schwartz. Marlene passed away on Saint Valentine's Day, which is only fitting, as the love she had for her family and friends could not be matched. A celebration of Marlene's life will take place on Wednesday February 20th at St. Stanislaus Church, 187 S. Western Avenue, Saint Paul 55102. A visitation will start at 10AM, followed by a funeral service at 11AM. A luncheon will then be hosted at DeGidio's Restaurant. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Just know you are in our thoughts and that we wanted to be with you and support you. Marlene was always a delightful and lovely presence at all our gatherings over the years.
