Stockton
Margaret "Marge" Brettschneider 
Aug. 12, 1908 - Dec. 11, 2004



Margaret "Marge" Brettschneider, 96, a forty-one year resident of Stockton, 
passed away Saturday, December 11, 2004, at Beverly Healthcare Center following 
a brief illness. She was born August 12, 1908, to Paul and Minna Poetke in 
Bremen, Germany, and she and her family immigrated to Chicago, Illinois when 
Marge was 13.
Marge married Fritz "Fred" Brettschneider, and she worked 30 years for the 
Curtis Candy Company in Chicago (and knew the true story behind the naming of 
the Baby Ruth candy bar!) After her only child, Charles "Chuck" moved to 
Stockton with his family in 1958, Marge and her husband, and her mother moved 
there too in 1963. While her son soon was transferred to Anaheim, CA, Marge and 
family remained in Stockton living on Polk Way for 37 years. She started a new 
career and worked a number of years for the Stockton Elevator Company as their 
payroll clerk.
Marge was healthy and mentally strong her whole life, for which we are all very 
grateful. She was preceded in death by her husband Fritz Brettschneider; and 
her son and his wife, Chuck and Jean Brettschneider. She is survived by her 
grandchildren, Dawn Peaslee of Wenatchee, WA, Linda Brettschneider and her 
fiance Brad of Anaheim, CA, and Kirk Brettschneider and his wife Cindy of Taft, 
CA; great-granddaughter, Lisa Brettschneider of Taft, CA; and special friend 
Betty Lucas and her family in Stockton.
There will be no services at Marge's request. A special thank you to her 
neighbors, friends, and loved ones who helped make Marge's life special, and 
also to the staff and residents of Beverly Healthcare Center for their kindness 
and care.
