May 22, 1947 ~ April 15, 2011
On Friday, April 15, 2011 Nannette B. Treutel entered into eternal rest. She was born in 1947 to Levi and Velva Bontrager. She grew up in California where she graduated high school. She married Joe Treutel, whom she lovingly and affectionately called "Buster", on February 14, 1989. Nannette loved the Lord with all her heart, soul, and strength. She was constantly looking for ways to serve God through her service to others. Her gentle and loving spirit made her a joy to be around. Her love for God made her a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. Her joy was in making her grandchildren smile by sending cute cards, playing Yahtzee for hours on end, and even buying treats for their dogs. Their laughter was one of her favorite sounds. She was preceded in death by her mother (Velva Bontrager Close), father, and step-father Clyde Close. Those who will always love and remember her are her husband, Joe Treutel; her sister, Charlene Close; her children, Michael (Deborah) Ishee, Marta McCamy, Tina (Bryan) Briley, Jodye Treutel, and Joe Treutel III; her grandchildren, Michael Sosa, Victoria and Sara Ishee, Mari (Brandon) Sykes, David (Ashley) Briley, and Jessica Treutel; and great-grandchildren, Noah and Elijah Briley, and Brylie and Josiah Sykes. Take time to cherish the people you have in your life while they are still here with you. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Humane Society of San Antonio, TX, 210-226-7461 or www.sahumane.org in honor of Nannette's love and passion for dogs.

Nanette was my best friend. She was always there for me; one of those rare people that you knew you could call on and would always love to hear your voice. She is cherished and missed everyday. My sincere condolences to all of the family, particularly Joe, who took such tender care of her when she needed him most.
I miss my mother more than anyone could possibly know unless they lost their mother to a horrible, long drawn out death. It was sudden. I grieve her every single day and there is a void that shall never be filled. I write now as I pulled this site up and saw her close friend in SA write to her. Please feel free if you ever see this number to contact me. I have lost your number. 832-381-6102. I look forward to being with my mom again soon as the days are shortened and we will live forever and never part again AND all under the best circumstances. Let me notate that he obit left out many years of her life and that hurt me deeply. My mom had a life before what was shown at the memorial and had a life that was so much more than the obit. There was little of my son. My son was her first grandchild and no one can take that away from him nor her and the love they had for each other. She loved him through the hardest times in his life and prayed for her beloved grandson. Her blood, her joy. All mom’s and daughters struggle at times but we had a connection even though I am unable to share anymore. I miss you mom. I miss you so much. You were all I had except for our little Michael. I wish so much I could have done things differently. You know, that regret you even had and said I would have it but never did I think I could lose you so quickly. I’ll make it up there to see you! I promise mom. Michael misses talking to you and I put a framed picture of you and him in his room. You will never be forgotton. Never.
She was my mother-in-law and a wonderful grandmother to my daughter! I loved her so much, I can’t believe she is gone! I miss you every day Mom! :(
