Obituary for Jeannie Sue Scholl
It is with heavy hearts that we announce our beloved mother, Jeannie (Jean) S. (Marrs) Scholl moved on from this world on January 2nd, 2022. With sadness in our hearts, we find solace in knowing that she is in a better place. She was born October 6th ,1947, in Leadville, Colorado to the late George R. Marrs and Marguerite (Peggy) E. (Robinson) Marrs.
Growing up Jeannie got to the experiences of living in small mountain towns in Colorado such as Leadville, and Kokomo. The latter being her favorite memory that she loved to reminisce about. She graduated from Summit County High School (Frisco, Colorado) in 1965.
Right after graduating Jeannie was married. Her first marriage afforded her the opportunities to live in Belgium and Germany. While in Germany she coached a softball team “The Wildcats” for the USAREUR DYA. She also enjoyed Volksmarches as well in which she collected an array of medals for.
Back in the states she had many hobbies that she brought back with her that she continued thought the years. She was girl scout leader, like doing ceramics, making extraordinary cakes, knitting, sewing, and her most loved hobby was pen palling. She was a member of bowling league and the Red Hat Society.
Jeannie would beam with pride and smile from ear to ear when either recalling or being told her father used to call her his “young spring chicken”. She also enjoyed being called “G-Ma” and “Mumsy” by family members.
Jeannie had many favorites in her life one of them being country music. Loretta Lynn was her favorite and we all remember listening to her Christmas album every year. How can we forget the song to “Heck with Old Santa Claus.” Johnny Cash was another favorite. She will also be remembered for her favorite movie ‘Gone with the Wind”. Her RV was the one of the other highlights of her life. She loved to hop in and go on adventures.
Jeannie will be remembered for her tenacity and strength to get through whatever life threw at her. She will be forever missed.
Besides her parents she is preceded in death by her husband Peter Scholl, two brothers Thomas E. Marrs and Robert E. Marrs.
She is survived by daughters Debbie (Mark) Quackenbush of Kingsbury , NY and Michele (Brad) Magowan of Queensbury, NY; sons, Ronald (Bonnie) Young of Gardner, CO and Nathan Ryder of Colo. Springs, CO; her sisters Ruth (Rodney) Petsch of Wauneta, Nebraska, Donna Jursch of Buena Vista, Colorado, and a brother Ernie (Janine) of Georgia; grandchildren Kristy (Louis) Orr ,Mark J.(Leah) Quackenbush, Justin (Mandy) Hawkins, Corey Hawkins, Stacey Hawkins, Heidi Matheny, Jonathan Matheny, Justice Ryder, Ariya Ryder and Ariel Ryder; great-grandchildren Lucian and Holden.
