Angela Katherine Jandt

Angela Katherine Jandt, of Seguin, also known as mother, Gela, Nan, Grandma, Great Nan, and aunt passed away at the ripe old age of 102 on March 4, 2025. Angela was born on April 26, 1922, in Selma, TX to Frank and Elizabeth (Riedel) Fey. She was the ninth child, out of twelve, and the last surviving member of her immediate family. Her mother passed away when she was 10 and her father remarried 3 ½ years later to Erna (Lieck) Real. She grew up on the family farm, attended grade school in Selma, TX, was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church and served for many years in Saint Ann’s Circle at St James Catholic Church in Seguin. Her first job was at Randolph Field, TX as a live-in maid for a USAF 2nd Lt and his wife. Oh, the stories she would tell, although they cannot be repeated here. She later began working at Grandma Cookie Co, San Antonio, TX. She met the love of her life at Luxello Dance Hall near Selma, TX and they married in September 1947. 

She was preceded in death by her husband Clarence O. Jandt, TSgt, USAF (Ret), her parents, stepmother, daughter Shirley and husband Allen Ott, brothers: Hugo, Robert, Joseph, Erhart, Oswald, Gilbert, and Raymond and sisters: Laurie, Annie, Elvira, and Lillie. 

Angela is survived by her son, C.J. Jandt, Lt Col, USAF (Ret), and wife Patricia, TSgt, USAF (Ret), of Seguin, grandchildren Philip Jandt of Seguin, TX, Felicia Jandt Boudreaux and husband Joshua of Covington, LA, Lt Col, USAF (Ret), and Christopher Ott of New Braunfels and great-grandsons Talon Boudreaux, Porter Boudreaux, and Finn Boudreaux.

Angela accompanied her husband during his military assignments to Alaska, England, and several bases throughout the United States. She enjoyed her visits to Hawaii and Germany in the 80’s while visiting her son and family. Germany was her favorite; she was fluent in German and had a wonderful time talking with the locals she had the pleasure of meeting. She thoroughly enjoyed life and was a great cook, but baking was always a “favorite passion” of hers. She had a keen sense of humor and was quick to joke with those around her. She was always surrounded by laughter and is now surrounded with her husband and all of those who preceded her in death.

When she was around 95, she heard on TV that some woman drank a shot of whiskey every day and that is why she had lived so long. So, she decided to try it. Mind you, this coming from a woman who never drank whiskey and never drank much alcohol in her life except an occasional beer or wine. So, her doctor gave the nursing home a prescription to have a daily shot. This became the joke of the nursing home about her and her whiskey. Mind you, it was a good thing, and she did not really like how whiskey tasted, but she always said it was good for her pain. What pain? She only talked about pain when she talked about whiskey!
