Bobbie Jean (Endicott) Trietsch, 84, of Sanger, went home to be with her Savior on Saturday, January 23, 2021.

Mrs. Trietsch was born on March 7, 1936 in Houston to Jack Ernest and Mattie Annetta "Nettie" (Freeman) Endicott. She spoke often of her family time growing up in Bellaire and of her beloved little yellow dog named Cheesie.  She graduated in 1953 from San Jacinto High School in Houston and attended TWU and UNT. She was married to Theodore "Ted" E. Trietsch on March 3, 1956 in Gainesville; he died on June 7, 1984. She became a devoted wife and mother spending hours after a full day's work helping on the farm and sewing, crocheting, canning and cooking for her family. Bobbie was very active in church at Blue Mound United Methodist. She was a lay preacher, sang in the choir, active in Bible study and volunteered in the Kairos Prison Ministry for twenty years. Bobbie could do just about anything and excelled at several jobs including being a receptionist and accounting clerk at the Denton State School for eight years, secretary at the TWU chemistry department for nine years, secretary at Denton High School for twenty-three years, where she also volunteered at DHS sporting events and for many school programs as chaperone.  She decided she was not ready to retire after DHS, so took a job as receptionist at Union Camp for two years, receptionist for Russell Newman for nine years and worked as a concierge and safe deposit attendant for DATCU before retiring a second time.
