Jeanne Killmer Marshall, 95, was born March 1, 1921 in St. Paul, Minnesota, the daughter of Earl and Sarah Arny Killmer. She died June 16, 2016, in Springfield, IL, less than three weeks after the death of her husband of almost 70 years, Wells Stewart Marshall. Jeanne graduated from Central High School in 1939 and worked her way through the University of Minnesota where she studied home economics and graduated near the top of her class. She met her husband Stew while he was home on leave from WWII and they were married on July 26, 1946. She and her husband lived in St. Anthony Park (St. Paul) for many years. Jeanne was active in St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, where she taught Sunday school and was a member of the ECW, as well as numerous other activities. The family moved to Park Ridge, IL in 1968. There they joined St. Mary's Episcopal Church where they were members for 48 years. Jeanne served on altar guild and provided hospitality for years to those in need. Jeanne was particularly known for reaching out to visitors and newcomers, welcoming them to the parish and making them feel at home. Jeanne returned to the workforce in the late 1960s, working at Scott Foresman, and later for two professional societies: Data Processing Management Association (now Association of Information Technology Professionals) and the American Society of Lubrication Engineers (now Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers). She was preceded in death by her husband, mother, father, sister, Helen (Norman) and brother, Marion. She leaves behind a daughter Mary Jeanne (Jim Scheider) and sons Wells Stewart III (Mary Carson) and David Killmer (Dominic Wolocko). Jeanne was an optimistic person, seeking the good in others and always finding it. She will be greatly missed by many.
