Marion F. Petzko

Marion F. Petzko Saginaw, MI Age 89, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Thursday, August 14, 2014 in Saginaw, MI after a brief illness. Marion taught for over 25 years in the Saginaw Public School system with most of that time being spent as a 5th grade teacher at Handley Elementary School. Marion was born in Whitewater, Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin Whitewater where she graduated with a degree in Education. She met and married Edward Petzko and settled in Saginaw. Marion was an avid golfer carding her best round at the ripe young age of 86. She enjoyed playing the piano daily and gave the gift of music to her children. She had an intense love of nature, loved to garden, and was passionate about her blue hydrangeas. Being from Wisconsin also meant that she was a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan. Marion Petzko is survived by her sons John (Maureen) Petzko of Coldwater, MI, David (Janell) Petzko of Media, PA, Richard Petzko of Saginaw, MI, granddaughter's Jennifer (Andrew) Knowles and Megan (Trevor) Petzko-Sweet. She is also survived by her great granddaughter Bryn Caroline Knowles. She was preceded in death by her husband Edward and sisters Natalie Carter and Marjorie U'ren. In memoriam and in lieu of cards and flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Edward and Marion Petzko Student Athlete Scholarship care of the Saginaw Community Foundation.
