Mary Jo (Froehlich) Nitz, age 64, left this world on Friday, April 16, 2021. Mary was born on May 12, 1956 the daughter of Eldon and Barbara (Parker) Froehlich. She grew up and went to school in Oshkosh. On October 4, 1980 she married Jeffrey Nitz in Oshkosh. She was an avid bowler, enjoyed gardening, and the occasional trip to the casino. Mary’s biggest joy was spending time with her family, friends and fur babies. Mary will be most remembered for her kindness and her great listening skills.

Mary is survived by her husband of 40 years, Jeff; children: Deana (A.J.) Vanesky and Jeren Nitz; grandchildren: Asher and Jude Vanesky; brother, Peter (Cindy) Froehlich; father, Eldon Froehlich; many nieces and nephews; and life-long friend, Gwen Heagle. She will be missed by her many long-time friends. She was preceded in death by Grams and her mother.

It was Mary’s wish to be cremated. Memorials in Mary’s name may be given directly to the Oshkosh Humane Society.

There is always an open door at Mary and Jeff’s home to visit and share stories.
