PESCH, Marie
Known for kindness, a sense of humor, a twinkle in her eye, and a fervent belief in accepting God's will, Marie (Schneider) Pesch, formerly of Buffalo, New York, began her final journey home on October 11, 2002.

She served as an Eucharistic Minister in Buffalo and at St. Theresa's here in Summerville.

Marie and her husband celebrated a very lively and memorable 50th wedding anniversary in May 1999 with all of their children, grandchildren, brother and his family, nieces, and nephews, in attendance. With a ready smile, an eagerness for harmless "spoofery, " and an endless faith, Marie always exuded a can-do attitude. These attributes, along with her huband's, have been lovingly given to their six children: Arthur, Dennis, David, Linda, Mary Ellen, and Elizabeth, and nine grandchildren, Meghan, AJ, Chelsea, Emily, Daniel, Alexandria, Cassandra, and Joshua.
