Sara A. Tesch Oconomowoc, Wisconsin Obituary

Sara A. Tesch

Sara A. Tesch, age 50, of Oconomowoc, WI, found peace on Monday, April 16, 2018. Sara was born on May 18, 1967 in West Allis, WI. She was raised in West Allis and then Pewaukee, WI by Robert and Marie (Dyal) Guidinger. On June 16, 1995, Sara was united in marriage with Eric her one true love and soulmate. Our beautiful Sara was a loving Mom, devoted wife and friend to so many. If you knew Sara, you know the importance she placed on her family. They were everything to her, always her highest priority. She never missed an event or game to cheer on her children, who have been involved in so many sports over the years. She happily served as Captain of “Team Tesch”. In reality, she served so many roles for so many people. Her caring, giving nature was displayed with countless volunteer hours throughout her entire life. For instance, she stepped up to be the team manager for the club soccer team and co-led the girl and boy scout troops. Sara truly enjoyed the outdoors, organizing/hosting family gatherings, taking fall family hikes, neighborhood walks and planning memorable family vacations. One of her favorite trips was an annual trip up north to spend time with family relaxing, laughing, playing games and just enjoying seeing her kids with their cousins. It wasn’t long after a few of these trips that she purchased 2 kayaks so they could all enjoy being on the water throughout the summer. She loved to cook and cooked with love. In her spare time you could often find her reading a book – something her own mom loved and instilled in her as a child. Sara was extremely thoughtful, unselfish and always had a smile. Sara is survived by her loving husband Eric of 22 years; her children Elijah, Natalie and Piper Tesch; her father Robert Guidinger; her father and mother-in-law Dick (Marlys) Tesch; her siblings Nancy (John) DeLorme, Carol (Steve) McCulloch, Bob Guidinger, Rose (Joe) Nelson, Peggy (Mike) Moreno, Dan (Molly) Guidinger; brother and sister-in-law Bryan (Michelle) Tesch and a very large extended family and close friends. Sara is preceded in death by her mother Marie Guidinger; her brother Peter Guidinger and brother-in-law Joel Tesch. Services for Sara will be held at Pagenkopf Funeral Home (1165 E. Summit Ave, Oconomowoc) on Friday, April 20 at 6pm. A visitation for family and friends will be held from 3 pm until time of service. Memorial contributions for the Tesch children’s college education can be made to the family.

Sorry to say we didn’t have the opportunity to get to know your family over the years. We remember the good times when we did meet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, not only today, but in the days ahead as well. Gary and Carlotte Paulsen.
