Hermine “Mitzi” Lichte, 79 years old, peacefully passed away early Monday morning, March 24, 2015 in her beloved home in Ludington, Michigan. Mitzi was born July 11, 1935 in Bayreuth, Germany to Peter and Katherine Seiler. She married her best friend, and life companion, Roger Lichte, April 11, 1958 in Nurnberg, Germany. This year would have marked 57 years of marriage. Her devoted husband survives. Mitzi had two brothers, Andreas Seiler, who preceded her in death, and Reiner Seiler, surviving. Mitzi is also survived by her three children, Katherine, Ronald, and Kenneth Lichte. In addition, she leaves behind two grandchildren, Jessica Morales-Jacobson, and Kyle Lichte. Being the wife of a career Army man, Mitzi lived and traveled around the world. She had a love for learning. She was an avid reader. She loved opera, theatre, animals, nature, and playing bridge. But, her true passion was cooking. Mitzi took great joy in entertaining, feeding, and visiting with family and friends. She was never happier than when she had a house full of people she could feed. When meeting new people they would notice Mitzi’s German accent. They would ask her where she is from. She always replied, “Michigan!” This always left the person scratching their head, and left a sly smile on Mitzi’s face. Her sense of humor was unique and special. A celebration of Mitzi’s life will be held at the Lichte farm when the weather is warmer, the grass is greener, and the flowers are blooming. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lakeshore Animal Friends of Ludington. Wife, mother, sister…you will be truly missed… Please feel free to share a photo or a memory with Mitzi’s family at www.oakgrovefh.com. The family has entrusted funeral arrangements with Oak Grove Funeral Home and Cremation Center.
