Lynda J. Pietscher, 61, of Lakeland, Florida, formerly of Caseville, passed away on Sunday, September 8, 2019, at her home surrounded by family and friends following a brief illness. She was born on April 4, 1958 in Saginaw, daughter of the late K. William and Joanne (Olmsted) Pietscher. Lynda graduated from Bad Axe High School in 1976 and received her B.S. degree from Eastern Michigan in Speech Communication. She spent many years working in the customer service industry. Lynda enjoyed going to the beach and being by the water, following politics, and was an excellent debater. She loved animals and adopted two cats from Cass River Pet Friendz. Her passion was the theater and she spent several years acting both in college and at the Port Austin Community Players. She also used her acting skill set and partnered with Sandra McLean of S and D puppetry to voice characters in children’s puppet shows throughout Huron County. Lynda will always be remembered for her outstanding performances in: Mame, Gypsy, Oliver, Kalidescope, Fiddler on the Roof, and Grease (to name a few). For Lynda, there was no such thing as a small role. It is a testament to her acting skills that she could take a walk-on part and end up “stealing the show†with her wonderful characterization of a bag lady in Little Shop of Horrors at PACP. In 2014, Lynda moved to Lakeland, Florida to start a new chapter in her life.
