Norma Ann Ziggy Bautch, 77 of St. Francis, WI, died Sunday, February 17, 2019 peacefully and wonderfully surrounded by the love and care of her family. Her strength, inspiration, courage and joy in living will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. She loved life and continued to have a positive attitude throughout her years while contending with a number of challenging health conditions. Ziggy cherished her family and enjoyed life and socializing with family and friends. She leaves a legacy of faith and a strong German work ethic. She lived by the motto of giving 150% to everything she did in life and love. She was a loving daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dear friend to all she came to know in her life. With an upbeat, infectious personality, she lived life to the fullest and had an ever-positive attitude. She will not be forgotten by those she loved and who loved her. Ziggy was born on October 7th, 1941 in Arcadia, WI, the daughter of Wilmer and Zoa (Hansen) Ziegeweid in a family of fourteen children. She attended St. Aloysius Catholic Grade School and graduated from Arcadia High School. On October 7th, 1961, gathered by her family and friends, she married Donald Edward Bautch, her high school sweetheart. After her high school graduation she moved to Milwaukee, WI, working first at Northwestern Mutual Life, and then Allen Bradley. From there she was promoted to a position of high responsibility for a wildly successful career as a stay at home Mom, as a Resident Homemaker/Nest Maker/Cookie Baker, for her husband and six children. Ziggy was a member of St. Veronicas Catholic Church in Milwaukee, WI and later at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Appleton, WI. She was a strong, lifetime volunteer at each of her parishes, and for her children's grade schools and high schools, and for her communities. Ziggy truly knew no strangers throughout her life - only friends she hadnt formally met. She deeply and positively touched the lives of so many around her. Until the very end of her life, Ziggy put the needs of all of those around her ahead of her own. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are a direct reflection of her love, her faith and her stubborn determination throughout her long life. Survivors include her husband, Donald of almost 58 years; three sons, John (Christie) of Nashville, TN, Greg (Jill) of Waukegan, IL and Mike (Jolene) of Brighton, MI, and two daughters, Pam of St. Francis, WI and Kate of Wauwatosa, WI; eight grandchildren, AJ of Nashville, TN, Heather (Chris) Dillon of Milwaukee, WI, Abby of Duluth, MN, Emma (Mario) Butler of Brighton, MI, Claire and Grace of Brighton, MI, Nicholas and Olivia Packer of Milwaukee, WI,; and three great-grandchildren, Siena, Anora and Connor Dillon of Milwaukee, WI; a sister, Mary (Ben) Boschee of Deer Park, WA, brothers, Dave (Therese) of Winona, Jim (Judy) of Arcadia, WI, Greg (Phyllis) of Franklin, WI, Bernard (Michelle) of Arcadia, WI and many, many nieces and nephews.
