Platteville/Mineral Point - Dorothy Margaret (Dee) Pittz, age 89, of Platteville, formerly on Mineral Point, passed away on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 after an extended stay at Manor Care in Platteville, WI.

She was born on April 29, 1929 to Lauretta Gertrude (Palzkill) and William Albert Pittz in Mineral Point, WI. After high school, she worked at Ring's and Ground Round in Dubuque. Growing up on a farm near the Pecatonica River, Dorothy was often called Sis by her family. Dorothy helped raise her nieces and nephews, as well as their children. She will always be our adored, Aunt Dorothy. She enjoyed card games and her bus trips for Bingo. Even prunes became delicious when she made her prune cake with buttercream (oleo) frosting. We got the "banned in dairy state Imperial margarine" when she visited from Dubuque, IL. Aunt Dorothy was always just a phone call away if her family needed help. Her loving personality has left an enduring stamp on many. Aunt Dorothy, you will dearly be missed.

She is survived by her brother Clem (Marilyn) Pittz of Madison, a sister Mary Massie and brother-in-law Kenny Warren both of Rockford and brother-in-law Cecil Clayton of Belmont.

She was preceded in death by brothers; Joe (Jean) Pittz, John (Betty) Pittz, Bob (Marlene) Pittz, Leo Pittz, Paul Pittz (infant) and sisters; Helen Pittz, Genevieve Warren, Pat Clayton and many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at Ss. MARY & PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH in Mineral Point. Fr. Jim Leeser will officiate. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery. A visitation will be held on Tuesday from 9:30 until 10:50 at the church. A luncheon will follow in the church hall.
