Jean Marie Wilke

Jean Marie Wilke, aged 75, passed away on March 31, 2026, in Minneapolis, MN. Born on February 16, 1951, Jean was a vibrant presence known affectionately as "Jean the green machine" due to her exceptional gardening skills. Her passion for her yard, plants, and the outdoors was evident to all who knew her.
Jean's life was filled with various interests that kept her joyous and active. She not only had a green thumb but also enjoyed fishing, canning, baking, and the occasional thrilling trip to the casino. These activities brought her much joy and allowed her to connect with many people.
Jean is survived by her loving mother, Deloris Coleman; sister, Janice Bilek (Mike); brothers, Jimmy and Danny Coleman; daughters, Colleen Coleman, Alana Raska (Steven), and Jamie Levercom (Rocky). Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who brought her immense pride and happiness. Jean was preceded in death by her father, Fred Coleman, brothers Michael and Dennis Coleman, and her husband, Thomas Wilke.
A memorial service for Jean will be scheduled at a later date.
