Obituary for Louise Wojtkiewicz
Louise J. (Butman) Wotjtkiewicz, a long time resident of Acton, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2022 at the Emerson Hospital. She was 84 years old. She was the beloved wife of Peter Wotjtkiewicz to whom she was married sixty-six years.
Louise was born in Springfield and raised in Newton, Massachusetts. She was a graduate of Newton North High School. It was there that she met her high school sweetheart and future husband Peter. They were married in 1956 and shortly thereafter, moved to Acton. The Wotjtkiewicz family owned and operated Watts TV in Acton for many years, originally opened in Exchange Hall in 1957 before moving to West Acton and finally Great Road. Louise worked for many years as a bookkeeper for the business as well as other local businesses.
Louise was very involved with the Acton Community and beyond. She was a member and past president of the Lion’s Club for over thirty years.

She was also a longtime member of the Maynard V.F.W. Louise enjoyed candlepin bowling and was a member of a bowling league at the Acton Bowladrome. She enjoyed knitting and more than anything, time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren.
Louise is lovingly survived by her husband, Peter Wotjtkiewicz and their daughter Geralynn Roche. She was the loving Grammy of Peter, Brandon, Beth, Samantha, Bradley and Melissa and “Babci” to Jacob, Madelyn, Madison and Ryleigh. She also leaves her brother, Frank “Skip” Butman.
