Jean Marie Yanchek, 88, of Colorado Springs passed away peacefully on
February 3. She was born February 22, 1936 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to
Anna Elizabeth and Jay Russell Myers.
Jean was a compassionate and strong-willed individual who with a mix of
humor and straight-forwardness was never hesitant to let her opinion
known. A good cook who enjoyed preparing meals for all occasions as well
as for unannounced drop-in visitors, of which there were many of.
Jean had a great love of all animals. She enjoyed a stint as a volunteer at
the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Visitors to her home were always greeted
with at least one sometimes several of a variety of the largest breeds of
dogs.
For the last twenty years, and up to her passing, Jean was a State Security
Coordinator at the Kairos Prison Ministry International Foundation which
brought Christ's love and forgiveness to prison inmates and their families.
Jean is survived by children Kathryn Germany, Louise Main and Dave
Yanchek (Jean). Grandchildren Anna Yanchek, Nathan Yanchek, Ian
Setzer, Brandon Germany and great-grandchildren. Jean was preceded in
death by her parents, husband of 51 years William Yanchek; brothers Jay
Myers Jr, Jack Myers, William Myers; Sisters Margaret Mitchell and Nancy
Rannels.
