Anna Marie Stutzke, 92

Anna Marie  (Weisz) Stutzke, 92, passed away April 18, 2025, in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Ann was born on Aug. 28, 1932, in Sandpoint, Idaho, the daughter of John and Magdeline Weisz. She attended Kootenai Grade School and graduated from Sandpoint High School.

She married Ray Stutzke on July 4, 1950, in Superior, Mont. Together they enjoyed metal detecting, gold panning, antique bottle hunting and gardening.

Ann was an amazing seamstress, making clothes for her entire family and especially making baby clothes and quilts. She did amazing upholstery work on everything from furniture to boat covers.

Her passion was music and playing guitar. She loved signing with her family and friends. You never knew when she was going to cut loose with one of her favorite yodeling songs!

Ann is survived by her five children: Ron and Ruby Stutzke, Connie and Curt Bucklin, Dorene and Dan Balch, Rob and Lo Stutzke, and Robert Stutzke and Linda Hone; her sister, Mary Mitton; brother John Weisz; and 15 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Stutzke; her parents, John and Magdeline Weisz, sisters Katherine Gerber, Elizabeth Kemp, Barbara Bouse and Maggie Dockings-Barret; and brothers Joe, Pete and George Weisz.

Because of her inability to stand or walk, Ann spent her last months at Life Care Center of Sandpoint. We would like to thank the staff for their loving and kind care.

Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 3, 2025, in Coffelt’s Funeral Chapel. Interment will take place in Pinecrest Memorial Park.

Family and friends are invited to sign Ann’s online guest book at coffeltfuneral.com.
