Jeanette Rose Stimart

Stimart Jeanette Rose (Jean) Age 101 of St. Anthony, MN passed peacefully on February 15th, 2025. Formerly from SE Minneapolis. Jean was born on her grandparent's farm March 18th, 1923 in Grove Township, MN to Teckla and Roman Weitzel. She was the oldest of three younger brothers, (Harold, Ralph and Wally), who she adored and earned the title "Tom Boy." She grew up in Melrose and St. Cloud, MN where she graduated from high school in 1941. A year after high school, Jean came to Mpls. to live with an aunt and her family. At a dinner party, she met the love of her life, Joseph Stimart (Pha) and the rest is history. Jean patiently waited for three years, while Pha served in the Navy in Hawaii during WWII. During that time, Jean worked for AT&T as a telephone operator. She made many phone connections for servicemen overseas to their sweethearts back home. Three months after Pha discharged from the Navy, the couple married on July 20th, 1946. They were married for 64 years. They had three children-Dennis, Mary and Greg. Once married, Jean was a homemaker. She had many interests over the years which included sewing, organ lessons, embroidery, cooking, gardening, bird watching, and China painting. In the early 70's Jean began China painting, attended classes, bought a kiln and became very skilled. Some of her inspiration for China painting came from the flowers and bird watching in her own backyard. A magazine called "Minnesota Conservation Volunteer" that she loved and read cover to cover, also gave her ideas for China painting projects. She sold her work at craft fairs and earned multiple ribbons at the Minnesota State Fair over the years. Jean is preceded in death by her husband Pha, son Dennis and infant grandson Christopher. Jean is survived by her loving family, five grandchildren, five great grandchildren and friends who were blessed to have had her in their lives for many years. She was 32 days shy of being 102. She will be dearly missed by all. Rest in peace, Mom-you had a beautiful, long life and gave us all many treasured memories. Your "grand fur babies" are missing all the hugs from you, too.
