Obituary: Mary Kay Jacobs Piatt, 90

Mary Kay Jacobs Piatt

Born on November 22, 1931, and passed away peacefully surrounded by her children on June 26, 2022 at the age of 90. She is preceded in death by her loving husband Lynton of 66 years, and 7 of the 9 children of Lawrence and Anna Jacobs of Nezperce, Idaho. She is survived by her 100-year-old sister Bernice Lanza, her children: Pam (Larry) Hansen, Julie (Dick) Enerson, Tim (Heidi) Piatt, Darcie (Richard) Payne, Grandchildren: Breanna, Cassandra (Seth), Justin, Chelsey, Kajsa (Dane), Olivia, Malina, Seth (Blanca) and great-grandchildren Quinn, Tristan, and Nora.

Mary Kay and Lyn resided in Whitewater, Wisconsin for 47 years, and moved to the Twin Cities for their final years to be closer to many family members. She worked at the UW-Whitewater Health Center as an administrative assistant soon after moving to Whitewater until her retirement in 1993.

She was always within arm’s reach of a book, crossword puzzle, knitting or handiwork, and enjoyed painting and doing ceramics. Mary Kay was smart, wise, resourceful, strong, and always had a “can-do” attitude while being content with staying out of the limelight. She was passionate about politics and worked for many years as an election judge and campaigned for her favorite candidates.

She had a great sense of humor, a beautiful smile, was willing to help others – particularly the underdog, and loved and served her family well. We will miss her greatly.

We want to thank the staff at Saint Therese of New Hope, Minnesota for their loving care during these past 3 years.

Notice of burial arrangements and memorial for both Mary Kay and Lynton Piatt will be determined at a future date.
