Surrounded by family, the Lord took home a very loving, wonderful wife, mother, sister and grandmother on January 25, 2008. Jean was born September 9, 1950 to the late Robert and Shirley Merritt of Chicago, IL. She is survived by husband of 39 years, Anthony, 3 daughters, Cynthia and Jaime of Lakeland, FL. and Tracey (Wendell) Small of Wadesboro, N.C. 4 grandchildren, a sister Shirley (Jim) Prucha of Londonderry, N.H., a brother Robert (Pam) Merritt of Crown Pointe, IN. plus many nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services Wednesday January 30, 2008 at 6PM at the funeral home. Visitation from 3PM until time of service. The family would like to express their heart felt thanks to the oncology group at Medical Associates, the 5th floor nurses at Community Memorial Hospital, especially Donna and Heather. The nurses at Kathy Hospice and to all friends and especially neighbors Dave and Lynn DeBroux. Jean had a quiet strength, a strong will and a great sense of humor. The simple things in life were the ones that lasted the longest. Family always came first to her.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in her name to The Kathy Hospice of West Bend or your local senior center.

From what I've heard of Jean, she sounds a lot like my mom. She must have been a wonderful inspiration for you, Cyn!
Just know that her contributions live on in the people she touched. It sounds as if the world is a much better place for having had Jean Witkus in it.

I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a truly great lady.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this obviously very special person in your life. I will say a prayer for you and her family.
I'm very sorry, Cyn.
I know there is nothing I can do to make it better, but know you have friends around who care about you. Your mother was beautiful and I don't mean just on the outside.
Thanks everyone. It's been hard. She's been my muse, my cheerleader, and her jokes kept me going. Losing her is hard, but now I know she's not in pain. I promised her I'd write more, so that's what I'm trying to do. Get more done, be out there more for my readers...and to be a nuisance. LOL
I was so sad when I found out your mom had died. I was hoping she'd be able to beat her cancer.
Fifty seven is way too young for anyone to die.
Sending my prayers and sympathy out to you and your family, Cyn.

Cyn,
Just wanted you to know how sorry I was to hear of your family's loss. There are no words that I can say to make you feel better, but just know that she is no longer in pain and that she will forever watch over you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
