Obituary of Frances Margaret Prueter
Prueter, Frances Margaret
Saginaw Twp., Michigan
Our beloved mother passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at her home where her family lived for 68 years. She was 101 years old. Frances Margaret Pickelmann was born on August 12, 1923 in Saginaw to Ernest and Selma (Ranke) Pickelmann. On Sunday, June 14, 1942 Fran married Kenneth L. Prueter and they enjoyed 64 years before his passing on January 5, 2007.
Fran is survived by her two sons, Bill and Bob; several nieces and nephews
Fran was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ken; and sisters: Marion Foerster and Lois Fiebig; brother, Norman Pickelmann.
Whether at her home in Saginaw or at the family cottage in East Tawas, Fran always said she was so fortunate to have the best friends and neighbors over the years. Special friends included Ramiro and Angie Torrez, Helen Domson, Barb Loessel, Yvonne Beeg, Carl and Christine Huebner and Peg Olsen. Fran went to Attractions Salon weekly for nearly 40 years. She enjoyed each visit with the girls, especially Connie Bender who did her hair. She loved Connie and we consider her family. Every one at Attractions was so good to her.
Fran enjoyed baking and making meals for her family and friends. Many holiday meals, birthdays and parties were had at her house. She enjoyed working in her yard into her late 90’s. She worked at Lufkin Rule Company until it closed in Saginaw in 1968.
Fran had a strong Christian faith beginning as a child. Fran attended Trinity Lutheran Church where she also attended school through the 8th grade. After her marriage to Ken, Fran attended St. Mark’s Church and Countryside Trinity Church. She will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Frances will be laid to rest next to her husband at Chapel Hill Mausoleum, Freeland. Family and friends will gather to celebrate her life at a later date.
