Auberger, Maria E “Mitzi”
(Nee Eichinger) Passed away peacefully on February 11, 2022 at the age of 97. Loving wife of her dear husband, Josef “Sepp”, for 61 years, who preceded her in death in 2012. Devoted Godmother, Tante, and friend. If you knew her…you loved her.
Mitzi was born in Grettenbach Austria to her loving parents, Ferdinand and Maria. She met and married the love of her life, Josef, and together they immigrated to the United States in 1956. Maria worked at Briggs and Stratton for 24 years as a motor assembler. Anyone who worked with her would say she was the hardest working and strongest person they’d ever met. Maria enjoyed crocheting infant outfits for those in need. She also enjoyed gardening. Mitzi and Joe sponsored the original gardens at San Camillo as well as the new prayer garden to be opened later this year. Maria was ever faithful to God and dedicated monthly masses to her “Joe in heaven”.
A special thank you to the staff at San Camillo and Mitzi’s dear friend Janet, for all of the loving care you provided for Mitzi, especially in her last days.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 1:00 PM in the San Camillo Chapel located at 10200 West Bluemound Road, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin 53226 with visitation starting at 12:30 PM.
Mitzi freely donated to many charities to help those in need, therefore, in lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated to the St Camillus Foundation or another charity of your choice.
Tante Mitzi, you will be forever in our hearts.
