Mary Lou Percha's Obituary
Mary Lou Percha, affectionally known as “Lou”, peacefully returned home to her heavenly Father on November 7, 2024. She was surrounded by love with her daughters by her side, when her furious fight with cancer ended.
Beloved and cherished wife of the late Robert M. Percha and her legacy continues by her children, Robert (April) Percha, Theresa (Jeffrey) M. Boyer, Andrew (Amy) Percha, and Kristen (Darrell) Miszkowski, and by her forever loved grandchildren, Kylie Percha, Grace Percha, Piper Miszkowski, and Bennett Percha, along with her siblings Christine Wiedenhold, Gary Wegener and Donna Cobb.
Her journey began on July 10, 1944, when she was born to Gerhard and Marie Wegener. After living in Center Line, she graduated from St. Clement High School and studied nursing in Bay City. In 1966, she married her soul mate Robert Percha.
Along her journey, Lou touched many lives by being a nurse, being an avid reader, by bringing people together through her adventurous spirit, endless travel, organizing reunions, effortlessly hosting meals and gatherings, caregiving and sharing news articles and items with her many adored family members and numerous precious friends.
Lou lived her best and faith filled life by always placing others needs before her needs. She accepted all people into her life with an open heart, open arms, and perpetual smile. Her family and friends will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives to the fullest, just as she did.
