Jean Kreyche Obituary

TILLSON-Jean Marie Schneider Kreyche, 73, of Tillson, N.Y. passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Feb. 23rd, 2021 in Tucson, Ariz. Born on Jan. 29, 1948 in Ravenna, Ohio, to Leo and Betty (Francis) Schneider, Jean was a graduate of Ravenna High school (‘66) and Kent State University (‘70). She met and married Michael Kreyche in Hamlin, West Virginia in 1977; the couple remained together in a loving partnership for 44 years. Jean and Mike relocated from Kent, Ohio to Tillson in 2014 to be near their beloved granddaughter, Aurelia. Jean quickly became an integral and cherished member of the community, and volunteered with several local non-profits. Jean lived a life of service to others in every sense. As a teacher, humanitarian, and active member of the recovery community, she touched the lives of countless people. Her generosity of spirit, unconditional love, and deep wells of compassion will not soon be forgotten. Jean is preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Betty, and survived by her husband, Michael; three daughters and their respective partners, Jessica and Brian Larson, Carrie Mae Rose and Kenny Wistuk, Emma Kreyche and James Gatherer; granddaughter, Aurelia; sisters, Carol Martin and Nancy Sorboro; as well as many extended family members and friends. Services will be held virtually and in-person at a later date when family and friends can safely gather. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Worker Justice Center of New York at www.wjcny.org/donate. http://www.lastingmemories.com/jean-marie-schneider-kreyche

Rest in peace, Mrs. Kreyche. I went to St. Pats from the early 90s to 2001 and she was a really important part of those formative years. She inspired my entire career in tech and A/V. A lovely person. Sad to see her go.

All the best to her family. Jean was a really good one.

My condolences to the family. I met Jean in 2019 as she was walking about in St. Mary's Cemetery here in Kingston, NY. Jean was looking to fill requests for Find-a-Grave. We both had our wide-brimmed hats on to protect from the Sun and a conversation ensured. After that, we saw each other occasionally looking for memorials. Such a lovely lady, doing a great service. May angels speed you home, Jean.

Jean was a very unique person. I remember her as an early pioneer with microcomputers in primary education at St Patrick in Kent. I remember her efforts with justice in El Salvador, and with aid to immigrants. Her heart was truly so big that it took in the world. I will always remember her kindness and overflowing compassion, and her unassuming, humble friendship.
