Obituary of Elizabeth Fietz

FIETZ, Elizabeth (Betty) (nee Bellman) – Passed away suddenly in her 89th year at Vision Nursing Home on Sunday, January 25, 2015. Predeceased by her husband Heinrich (Henry), the love of her life, in December 2013. Survived by two sisters, Maggie and Nancy of California; nephews Paul and David of the USA; sister-in-law Lore, nephews Jochen, Klaus and niece Elisabeth of Germany and her cherished cousin Mary (Dale) of Sterling Heights, Michigan. Predeceased by her parents Edwin & Mary Bellman, sister Mary Bellman Walters and brother-in-law Richard Walters. Betty was born and raised in the Mt. Clemens area. She worked at Michigan Bell Tel. (now AT&T) and this became her career long before "careers" were fashionable for women. Her employment history there spanned several decades and she held a management position at her retirement. She loved to entertain and was an accomplished "gourmet" style cook. Together, she and Henry shared a love of the arts and they also shared many a travel adventure. Betty will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by her many friends and family as a sweet, kind, gentle person who always had a cheery smile waiting for you.
