Jeanne F. Emery-Boettcher, 94, Green Bay, formerly of Pelican Lake/Elcho, died peacefully at a local assisted living facility on April 21, 2012. Born on June 24, 1917, in East Orange, N.J., she is the daughter of the late Ralph and Edna Tower. Jeanne was a graduate of The Art Institute of Chicago. On April 12, 1941, she married A. Carll Emery in Chicago, and he preceded her in death on July 4, 1968. On April 23, 1971, she married George Boettcher, who preceded her in death on Dec. 21, 2001. Jeanne raised her children in her younger years and later worked at Elcho Schools as the K-12 art teacher and girls physical education teacher from 1953 to 1982. Jeanne enjoyed listening to Broadway musicals, and also loved all forms of art - especially painting and pottery. She enjoyed living at Pelican Lake and loved spending summer with the kids. Jeanne also valued taking trips with family, many of which were to Arizona, and camping throughout the United States.
