Jean Myers Obituary
Mansfield - Jean E. Myers, 79, of Mansfield, passed away at Arbors of Mifflin on Saturday, July 27, 2019. Jean was born in Sterling, Ohio on January 26, 1940. She was the daughter of the late John and Pearl (Gasser) Marty.
Jean had a great love for children and had babysat many over the years. Her love for children led her to be a Brownie Leader and she loved being involved in the activities with the young girls.

She was generous and used her talent of quilting to bless others as she made many quilts and gave them as gifts to others. She was a member of the Mayflower Group in Plymouth. She was a former member of the Plymouth United Methodist Church serving as the secretary, and a current member of the Apostolic Christian Church on Illinois Avenue.
Jean leaves behind her sons, Randy (Lisa) Myers and John Myers; her daughter, Kathy (John) Emanuel; her much loved grandchildren, Cory and Ava Myers; her brothers, Dale Marty and Jim (Mary Ann) Marty; and a sister-in-law, Sherryl Marty. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Thomas Myers Jr.; two brothers, Harold Marty and Richard Marty; and a sister-in-law, Sally Marty.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've worked at Hillside Acres (now Blossom Healthcare) for many years. I remember your mom well. She was such a sweet lady and everyone thought so much of her. I remember one evening there was freezing rain and the parking lot was very slippery. Jean was getting ready to leave work and her car was parked clear across the parking lot. We took her keys from her and one of the girls went out and moved her car as close to the door as possible and several of us held onto her and walked her to her car. Everyone thought alot of her and we wanted her to be safe. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
