Siria Fedora Marie Mary Delores Pieri Pinnick was born on May 13, 1926, and passed away peacefully on March 23, 2025.  Yes, that was her full name; her 3 daughters have NMN -no middle name- because she felt that she had a few too many. This was typical of Siria, who liked to forge her own path.  She married Joseph F. Pinnick (deceased) on February 15, 1947, and together they had 4 children- Cristine Holstrom (Tom – deceased), Patricia Decker (deceased) (Paul), Kathleen Bartholomew (John), and Thomas.  She had 8 grandchildren: Jennifer Decker Jackson (Terrence), Sarah Decker Sitzer (Luke), Abigail Holstrom, Elizabeth Holstrom Monaweck, John Bartholomew, Joe Bartholomew, Katie Bartholomew Kiss (David), and Matthew Fletcher.  She also had 8 great-grandchildren: Miah, Brynn, Taryn, Paige, Mabel, Jace, Lumi and Jude. She had a great-great grandson, Kroix.  She cherished her special relationship with her niece, Diane Prater. Siria was the "fun" mom and grandmother.  She was always up for an adventure, a new craft or game, and loved to entertain.  Her family was important in her life, but she also had so many outside interests – she clerked at Graichen's – a prominent women's store in Fremont - and relished her years as a contributor to the Fremont Times Indicator.  She taught aerobics, skied, and played golf and tennis. Siria was involved in state and local politics and never shied away from letting you know how she felt about a candidate or an issue.

Siria loved to shop! One of her favorite activities in her later years was to visit garage sales with her garage sale buddy, Ellie.  Her children and grandchildren were often recipients of her found treasures.  She also loved to travel and together with husband Joe was able to explore multiple continents.

Siria was a unique character – from her original name to her outgoing personality, her willingness to open her doors to visitors, guests, and family, her skill at cooking and creating delicious meals, and her spirit of adventure. She was the model for strong Pinnick women and granddaughters.  She will be missed.

A celebration of Siria's life will be held at a later date.  Memorial contributions can be made to Harbor Hospice online (harborhospicemi.org) or mailed to 1050 W.
