Obituary:
Margaret Ann Petit, age 88, died peacefully on Friday, August 2, 2013 at Rennes Health Care Center of Appleton. She was born March 8, 1925 in the Town of Belle Plaine, Shawano County, to the late Michael and Anna (Dillenberg) Muraski. Margaret graduated from Shawano High School and on May 30, 1950, she married Vernon Petit in Shawano. Together, they moved to Kentucky where they lived while Vernon served in the military. In the 1950's, they relocated to Appleton Wisconsin where they started the large family that Vernon and Margaret dearly wanted. Margaret's family was her pride and joy. She will miss them as they will miss her. Margaret was a homemaker, dedicated to her family and grandchildren as well as a faithful member of St. Mary's Parish, Appleton. She would greet everyone with a warm smile, which will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her five sons, Phillip (Julie Ann), Noel (Sue), Gregory (Nancy), and Rock (Robbin), all of Appleton; Dominic (Niki), Green Bay; four daughters, Yvonne (Thomas) Vandenberg, Rhinelander; Julie Petit, Appleton; Michele Remter, Shiocton and Annette Petit, Appleton; a daughter-in-law, Mary Petit, Madison; 14 grandchildren; David, Graham, Brooklyn, Andrew, Grayson, Brielle, Alain, Lucien, Samantha, Cassandra and Vincent Petit, Michael Vandenberg, Eric Remter and Jennifer Mocine, and four great-grandchildren. Margaret is further survived by three sisters, Alice Kugel, Bonduel; Joan Muraski, Shawano; Catheryn Ziemmer, Shawano; and two sisters-in-law, Lois and Ann Petit, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon in 1999, a son Chris, her parents and a sister, Delores (Clarence) Breitenfeldt.
