Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

At the young age of 91, our beloved mother Jean (Nangle) Schessler passed away surrounded by her family on Monday, April 1, 2024.

Born in Washington, PA, and preceded in death by her beloved husband, the late Thomas Schessler, Jean was the dear mother of Valerie (Pat) Zakowski, Lori Chesney, Robin Schessler, and Terri (Gary) Bodnar; grandmother of Luke (Danielle) and Kaylie (Jon) Zakowski, Erik (Emily) Chesney, Jordan (Alaina) and Reis Englert; great-grandmother of Brayden Hackel, Leo and Nathan Englert. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, many dear friends, and her best dog pal, Frankie.

Short of stature and big of heart, Jean enjoyed hosting Sunday family dinners, raising her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, listening to Frank Sinatra, watching Chicago PD, spraying herself with perfume, and burning candles.
