Jean Stegman Obituary

Jean Cecelia Stegman (Cain) departed this life on March 3, 2007. Jean was born January 10, 1937 in Colorado Springs, Colorado to George Patrick and Cecelia Catherine Cain. She is survived by her three children Melanie, Lisa, and Daniel; and six grandchildren. A loving mother, grandmother, and trusted friend to many, "Jeanie" was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. She enjoyed many years serving as a "nanny" to her two oldest grandchildren, a job she proclaimed was "the best I could ever have." Jeannie was a tireless woman and a positive influence on all those who were lucky enough to know her. She was a beautiful person. Mom and "Gamey", you were taken too early from us, but we are better people today because of the lessons you taught us. While we will miss you greatly, we take comfort knowing you are watching over us. You will always be in our hearts. Peace be with you Mom, we love you. A Public Visitation will be held at Swan Law Chapel, 501 N. Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903, on Wednesday, March 7th from 5:00 to 6:00 PM, followed by a Rosary. Funeral services will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 1830 S. Corona, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906, on Thursday, March 8th at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance at www.ovariancancer.org.

Mel, Lisa & Danny,
I'm sorry just doesn't seem to be enough right now. I was watching General Hospital this morning and thought of our mothers. I smiled knowing that the memories are going to be a wonderful thing to hold on to. If I can do anything for any of you, you know where to find me. You are in my prayers and I love you guys! TEET

Lisa and family: I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know she was so much a part of your life and she will be missed. I only have fond memories of her and the time spent with her during high school. She is an inspiration and I've always admired her positive attitude and encouraging words. It was a blessing to have known her.

To my friend that had a nickname for everyone, the very best recipes, an infectious laugh, and who,s home was always welcome to everyone. I could tell some stories of how we paid $20.00 for a bucket of $5.95 Drumstick Chicken? The drinks we invented, and then proceeded to drink! How we took six kids where ever we went, without seat belts. She was a great mother and raised three outstanding kids, who gave her a run for her sanity. Am so glad this family has been a part of our lives, this is what life is all about. When I think of Jean, I smile, isn't that a great way to be remembered. She will be missed,and if the kids need a shoulder, mine have grown very large with age.

Milanie, Lisa and Danny,
I was so sad to hear of your mother's passing. She was my Confirmation Sponsor when I was confirmed into the Catholic Church. I remember spending many Sunday afternoons at your house when we were growing up. May you find comfort in knowing that she has left you with many wonderful memories that will live on through you and your children. God Bless.
