"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you also may be where I am." John 14:3
On February 22, 2025, Jean, surrounded by the arms of her loving family, passed into the awaiting arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Born July 18, 1937 in Monaca, she was preceded in death by her parents, George and Anna Winkle. She was also preceded in death by her husbands, Joseph Lokey and William Andrew Bruce. Jean was one of ten children and was preceded in death by four brothers and four sisters. She is survived by her twin sister, Jane Davis.
Jean was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in New Brighton, where she served in the choir, Bible studies and Ladies Guild. In her later years, she became a faithful member of Church of the Redeemed in Conway, A former employee of McCarter's Bus Transit, she found great joy in driving children to school, field trips, and sports charters. Jean was a huge fan of her New Brighton sports teams and knew the students by name. She loved cheering them on to victory!
To know Jean was to love her. She had the kindest and loving heart and shared it with all of her family and friends. Her two favorite phrases were, "Thank you" and "I love you". Even in her extended and eventually debilitating illness, she never failed to speak those words.
Jean was a woman of many talents including baking, sewing, ceramics, and a multitude of crafts. She often gifted her ceramic masterpieces to family and friends. Jean was quite the cook and her Christmas ham, cinnamon rolls and cookies were her specialties.
Most of all, Jean leaves a legacy of her faith in God. She was bold and courageous, even during Covid, to hold Bible studies in her apartment. She knew and loved the Lord with all of her heart. She passed this deep love of the Lord to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jean was the loving mother of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by her daughters and sons; Trudy Bellan, Penny Bruce, Michael (Candace)Lokey, and David Lokey.
Her grandchildren loved and adored her; Justin (Beth)Bellan, Jared (Melissa)Bellan, Anna Marie (Tim) Bishop, Joseph (Kim)Bruce, Micheal Bruce, and Lee Ann Lokey. She was tickled to become the great grandmother to Jayden, Max, Jacob Bellan, Ezra and Emery Bishop and Cadence Hartnett.
