Virginia Elizabeth Wittich's Obituary
Virginia Elizabeth Wittich, age 92, of Spring Lake passed away Tuesday, March 30, 2021, at American House in Spring Lake.

Virginia lived in Rochester, MN and Wausau, WI most of her life. With her husband, they owned and operated their own title business and in retirement, she worked in her daughter’s art shop in California.
