Dorcille "Baba" Mae Pieprzyca's Obituary
Dorcille Mae “Baba” Pieprzyca, 77, of St. Petersburg, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 24, 2022 in Pinellas Park, Florida. She was born June 9, 1945, in San Antonio, Texas, to the late Walter Pieprzyca and the late Florence Yosko Pieprzyca Manka. Her stepfather Frank Manka, sister Delores Pieprzyca Moore, and brother-in-law R. Allan Spencer also predeceased her.
Baba loved everybody without prejudice. Although she faced many physical, mental and developmental challenges, she approached life with child-like joy and zeal. She enjoyed bowling, arts and crafts, bingo, 50’s music, and classic movies. She loved all animals, especially dogs and cats, and she enjoyed visiting the zoo.
Baba is lovingly remembered by her half-brother Tim (Brandon) Manka-Clemons, stepbrothers Armand (Pam) Manka and Michael (Adelene) Manka, brother-in-law Kent Moore, aunt Caryl Mauer Yosko, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Private Celebration of Life services will be held in Tampa, Florida, and in her native Texas, followed by her interment near her beloved parents.
