Jean Kalb

Aloha "Jean" Kalb, 86, of rural Troy, Ill., born September 22, 1928, in Pinckneyville, Ill., passed away Sunday, February 15, 2015, at her home.

Jean had a Christ-like spirit that gave her a zest for life. She was a longtime member of First Baptist Maryville, where she taught a women's Sunday School class for many years. She enjoyed her fun outings with friends in Timeless Treasures Senior's Group and assisted with the church's annual yard sale. Jean had worked as a bookkeeper for Hamlin Cabinets.

She loved her flower gardens and enjoyed fishing. She was a caring mother and grandmother and was crazy about her grandkids Kasi and Andy.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Kalb; her parents William Moak and Hattie, nee Smith, Moak; and six siblings.

Surviving are two sons, Timothy (Becky) Kalb of Troy, Ill., and Mark (Kathy) Kalb of Redwing, Minn.; her grandchildren, Kasi Kalb of Collinsville, Ill., Andy Kalb of Redwing, Minn.; and several nieces and nephews.

So sorry to hear about Jean's passing. She was a very good friend to Bessie Haberaecher, who passed in July of 2013 from pancreatic cancer. There will be laughter & fun to be had in heaven now! Those two will see to it! So sorry for your loss but I am sure Bess is glad to be reunited with her friend, Jean Kalb.
