survived by her brother James (Jerry) Krueger, special friend and caregiver Lisa Fredenburgh,
and nieces and nephews.

Fond memories of learning to fish, swim, and boat rides, Grandma GiGi refilling her candy dish
for their next visit, and cozy carpet everywhere remain with her great-grandchildren. Stories of
visits from her Culligan delivery man, Mark, whom she looked forward to seeing and getting a
snack from her goodie basket.

Jean will be missed by many as her door was always open to welcome guests for good
conversation and a game of cribbage!

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, March 17, 2017, at Fort Howard Memorial Park Mausoleum, 1350 N. Military Ave., Green Bay. Entombment to follow.
