Jill Dietz, 89, of Rice Lake died February 12, 2022, at Heritage Lakeside.

She was born in Rice Lake, WI to Walter and Norma Dietz.

Jill had a huge heart that could be seen by all who knew her. She had a great love for babies, she was known to stop whatever she may have been doing to say hello to them. Her compassion extended into giving to a number of charities for infants and veterans, and gave to the Rice Lake Food Shelf and the Senior Center. Jill was a very active member of her church and held the positions of SunShine Lady, Historian, and Prayer Tree Leader.

She had a large circle of friends that she would call daily to check up on and offer words of encouragement. Most of all Jill loved every member of her family; she had the ability to make each one feel like they were precious to her. She always wanted to know how they were all doing and to hear what the latest adventure was.

Jill also had a passion for football; the Packers in particular. Her wealth of knowledge on the current teams’ stats would put the commentaries to shame.

She is survived by two sons: Michael (Susan) Dietz, and Kim (Virginia) Dietz; grandchildren: James Dietz, Diane Dietz, Karen Dietz, Jocelyn (Mark) Lovenburg, Cheryl (Pat) Birkeland, Barbara (Ryan) Steen and Katrina (Dan) McCarty; great grandchildren: Callie, Michael, Isabelle, Jessy, Quincy, Sophia, George, Isla, Liv and Cecilia; great great grandchildren: Brayden, Kinsley, and Bradley; several cousins.

In lieu of flowers memorials can be sent to the Rice Lake Senior Citizen Center or the First United Methodist Church of Rice Lake.

Funeral services will be held in May at First United Methodist Church. Burial will be in Meadow Creek Cemetery.

Skinner Funeral Home of Rice Lake is serving the family.
