Jean was born June 28, 1930 in Minneapolis to Bernard and Lillian (Carlin) Bromenschenkel. She lived in the St. Cloud/Sauk Rapids area all her life. Jean married Marcellus Theisen on May 12, 1948 at St. Augustine's Catholic Church in St. Cloud. The couple was blessed with seven children, and Jean stayed at home to raise her children.

She volunteered for numerous community organizations. She and Marcellus enjoyed spending 25 years wintering in Arizona. Jean was a great host and entertainer, who loved camping, traveling, cooking, and was always up for a good adventure. Her home was opened to many. She was a very classy lady and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Jean was one of my favorites of my mother's cousins. She and Marcellus always took time to chat with me on visits home or when they came to our family celebrations.
My sympathies to the family and especially to Darrell and Jean (Jean and I graduated from high school together, my name used to be Mary Schoborg).
