Germaine C. Dietz, 83, of 116 Catalina Road, St. Marys, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, December 4, 2022 at Penn Highlands DuBois.

She was born May 3, 1939 in Ridgway, daughter of the late John and Vienna Donato Mucci. She was a lifelong resident of the area, a graduate of Johnsonburg High School, Class of 1957, and was a former employee of Alltel and Sylvania, where she retired.

On September 29, 1962, in St. Leo’s Church, she married the late, Carl M. Dietz, who preceded her in death on August 31, 2022. Together they shared 59 years of marriage.

Germaine is survived by three sons: Carl J. Dietz (Connie) of Menomonee Falls, WI, Donald A. Dietz (Vicki) of Brockway, and Daniel R. Dietz (Amy) of State College; six grandchildren: Christopher Dietz, Chelsea Day (Jesse), Corey Dietz, Alyssa Dietz, Cody Dietz, and Lindsey Dietz; four great-grandchildren; one brother, Robert Mucci; and by many nieces and nephews.

Along with her husband and parents, Germaine was preceded in death by a son in infancy, Thomas Edward Dietz, and by a brother, John Mucci.

She was a member of the Queen of the World Church.  She enjoyed spending time outdoors, particularly while camping or boating.  She enjoyed baking, especially making pizzelles around Christmas time.

Nothing brought her more joy than when she was around her children and grandchildren.
