Jeanne Marie Kohlbeck

Jeanne Marie Kohlbeck, was born on January 16, 1951, in Lancaster, Wisconsin, to her proud parents Leo and June Hahn. With deep sadness, we announce that Jeanne passed away peacefully at home on November 28, 2023, at the age of 72.

Jeanne's passion for helping others led her to pursue a career as a nurse, a calling that she dedicated over 50 years of her life to. She worked tirelessly, offering compassionate care that touched the lives of countless patients. Jeanne's presence was a source of comfort and healing for those around her, as she navigated her profession with grace and empathy. Her commitment to providing comfort extended beyond her work, as she was known for her caring and nurturing nature in her personal life as well.

While Jeanne's professional life was significant, her true joy and fulfillment came from the love she shared within her family. She was a cherished mother to her daughter Sarah Andraski and sons, Zach and Pat Kohlbeck, who were the lights of her life. Jeanne's love for her family was immeasurable, and she treasured every moment spent together. Whether it was enjoying family gatherings or embarking on exciting adventures, Jeanne's energetic spirit and vibrant personality radiated through everyone she met.

Outside of her dedication to work and family, Jeanne had a few passions that brought her immense joy. She had a fondness for dogs, particularly her loyal companion Bella, who held a special place in her heart. Jeanne cherished their time together, sharing endless cuddles. Additionally, she found solace in exploring the great outdoors, especially her love of skiing, embracing the thrill of the slopes with enthusiasm. Jeanne also had a penchant for Volkswagens and Jeeps, often admiring their unique designs and styling.

Jeanne's presence in the lives of those who knew her will be deeply missed, but her memory will forever live on through the countless lives she touched. She leaves behind her beloved sons, Zach (Megan) and Pat (Emily) Kohlbeck; as well as grandchildren, Mackenzie, Hannah, and Rylee; siblings, Barb, Mary Jo, and Mike; nieces, nephews, friends, and coworkers. She is already greatly missed by her dog, Bella. Jeanne is preceded in death by her parents, Leo and June Hahn, her sister Shirley, and daughter Sarah. 

In honor of Jeanne's life, a celebration will be held 1/20/2024 at Sylvan Hill from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.

Jeanne touched our lives in ways that cannot be expressed through words alone. She radiated warmth, kindness, and a selfless spirit, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege to know her. May her memory be a beacon of love and inspiration for generations to come.
