Letitia Kruger Obituary

Letitia (Tish) Kruger grew up in California and graduated with a business degree from U.C. Berkeley. After marrying Donald Sachs and the birth of their three children, they moved to Colorado Springs. Tish was very active: substitute teaching, serving on the school board, and volunteering extensively with her church, her community, and political issues she believed in. She hosted an award-winning radio show, and was a skilled stockbroker. Tish sang in choirs and musical productions; wherever Tish was, there was music. Another passion, traveling, eventually led her to Chicago and her marriage to Richard Kruger. Recently, Tish returned to her roots in the SF Bay area, to be closer to family. .She was a devoted mother and grandmother, full of the joys of life and friendship. Tish is survived by her children, Mark, Heidi, and Niki, their spouses, Judi, Fritz, and Greg, her grandchildren, Andrea, Michael, and Jacob, Richard's family and other loving friends and family. In honor of Tish, contributions may be made to EMILY's List or Alzheimer's Association. A celebration of Tish's life will be held in Tiburon, CA. Contact: [email protected].
