Obituary for Dorothy Louise Heintz (Wagner)
Dorothy Louise Heintz, age 86, of Oshkosh, WI passed away peacefully in her home on March 17, 2024, with her family at her side. She was born on July 16, 1937, to the late Sylvester and Mildred Wagner. Dorothy grew up in Oshkosh, WI, attended St. Mary’s Catholic grade school, and graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1955. Dorothy married the late Jerry J. Heintz, her husband of 63 years, on October 1, 1960, at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Oshkosh and together they raised 2 children. She was a devout catholic who liked contributing to the Mass by being a song leader and lecturer. In addition to raising her children, Dorothy worked at Miller Clock Service as a bookkeeper for over 15 years. Both jobs she truly treasured. Dorothy enjoyed spending as much time as she could with her family and friends. For several years, both her and Jerry looked forward to wintering in Bullhead City, AZ along with their close friends. She loved going out to eat whenever she could, reading, gambling and playing games - especially Bingo, and of course the Packers. Dorothy was a good wife, a wonderful mother and grandmother and a true friend. She will be missed every day, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
