(nee Drews) Passed away peacefully on Friday, June 3, 2022 at age 93 with her children at her side.
Her death is heartbreaking to her family and friends, but she will long be remembered for the way she lived…full of life and love. An avid traveler whose favorite places included Antartica, Paris, Kenya, and Turkey, Jean was never more happy than being at Bark Lake with her family and friends.

Jean is also survived by her cherished grandchildren, Emily, Kenny, Carolyn, and Jimmy Murphy, George Finch, and Enzo and Penelope D’Andrea, as well as niece, Meg Malark, nephew, Steve Lutzke, great niece, Mikayla Lutzke, niece, MaryJo (Tom) Dempsy, and nephew, Michael (Dianne) Johnson. In addition to her parents, Jean was preceded in death by her husband, George Rautenberg, her sister, Joyce Drews, and her brother, Leroy “Buzz” Drews.
