Condolences for


Rick and Tammy, blessings to you. Your mom's obituary was so loving and honoring. What a quality, "salt of the earth" sort of person she was. Rick, no wonder you turned out so great. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you work through the emotions and activities of saying goodbye to a parent, and grandparent to your kids. Sending love your way.
From Mark and Terry Rydberg

So sorry to learn of your loss. Recall many a fond memory of business classes at West Salem HS with Phyllis Bartz. She was a great story teller and always kept the class light-hearted. My sympathies to you at this time.

My condolences to the Bartz family on Phyllis' passing. She was such a great friend and neighbor to our family for over 50 years. She will be remembered for her love, care and education to others.
From Jane Cullmann Cartwright

It takes a special woman to raise 3 sons. It takes special men to stand by their mother on this difficult journey. I am certain there's a very special place in heaven for the mother of 3 boys. May you have some peace knowing she is reunited with loved ones, and will continue to support you from her heavenly home above. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Bartz was a special lady and a great teacher, she gave me the confidence to help me make it to where I am today! She had an impact on many people that way I'm sure! God's Blessings to her family.

I loved working with Phyllis in therapy over the years and seeing her up at Balsam Lake. She was a special lady and I will miss her. Our interests were very similar even with our difference in age. I will remember her with every visit to Balsam Lake and keep her in my prayers.
From Karen Bonifas, PT and friend

So sorry to hear of Mrs Bartz passing. She was a wonderful teacher. Will never forget the time we put books under the legs of her desk. She just laughed at us. We had some fun times in your class. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So Sorry to hear about "Ma Bartz". She was a great person. I graduated with Bob in 1973 and saw this in the Tribune.
From Karen Hammes Lynch

Was saddened to hear of Phyllis' passing. Remember her well as a teacher, and she was very dedicated and probably helped a lot of us be a little more employable! My sympathies to her family!
