So sorry to hear of your loss. No matter how long they live , they will be a part of your life. You’ll think of something you want to tell them and show them, continue to do that. Keep her in your memories always with lots of laughs and some tears. Keeping you all in our prayers, especially during this difficult time. Sandy and Alan Werstler
My deepest sympathy to the family. I remember Jean as a member of the Richard family and as a member of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Obelisk. Susan and Ruth – memories of your mother will help you through this very difficult time. Sharing stories of her will bring you comfort now and in years to come.
May God bless you, comfort you and give you His peace. ✝️🙏
Such a beautiful, caring wonderful lady has left us to be with her maker
Loved talking to her to get updates on her family which she loved so dearly
She kept her family well fed and loved making those meals. When the grandchildren were small Jean and Leroy furnished the children’s doll house by making the furniture themselves. So much love to share. Truly will miss her.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss! I was a caregiver of Jeans at Chestnut Knoll. She was one of the kindest and sweetest souls I have ever met! Her smile lit up an entire room! May she rest in peace in the comforting arms of our Savior. Sending love, prayers and empathy to you all!
