Louise H. Putz, age 100, died at River Glen of St. Charles on Monday, July 17,
2023.
Born on July 7, 1923 in Chicago to Henry and Mabel Schefer. On March 2, 1946
she married Frank A. Putz Jr. at St. Patrick’s Church in St. Charles, IL.
Louise attended St. Charles schools and was a member of St. Patrick and later, St.
Peter church. In her younger years, Louise worked as a waitress at The Pheasant
Run in St. Charles and Karen’s Swedish Tea Room in Geneva prior to retiring from
the St. Charles National Bank as a Personal Banker. But Louise will be especially
remembered for her impromptu organ “concerts” and singing, fabulous Sunday
and Birthday dinners and a full cookie jar for the grandchildren! Louise prided
herself on keeping a tidy yard and spent many hours making sure every last
Magnolia petal or stray stick was cleaned up.
Louise is survived by her children Cheryl (Dale) Feltes of Tigard, OR, Robert Putz of
DeKalb, IL, and Douglas (Janice) Putz of St. Charles; Grandchildren Carolyn
(Michael) Shelak, Daniel (Sara) Putz, Lindsay (Joel) McNally, and Alex (Janelle)
Putz; Great-Grandchildren Evelyn and Gwyneth Shelak, Owen Putz, Mason,
Cooper, and Ava McNally. Louise is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Louise is preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Frank A. Putz Jr. She is
also preceded in death by her parents Henry and Mabel Schefer, her brother Jack
Schefer, and sister Dorothy McClinsey.
