Jean T. Meckstroth, age 93 years, of Elroy, Wisconsin, passed away on Sunday, April 17, 2022 at Milestone Senior Living, in Hillsboro, Wisconsin.
She was born on July 5, 1928, to Leo and Esther (Kusser) Theibert in Sandusky, Ohio. She graduated from Sandusky High School in 1946 and then attended Bowling Green University. She married James W.

Together, Jean and Jim raised six children. In 1960, the family moved from Sandusky, Ohio and raised beef cattle on a farm near Wilton. In 1980, they sold the farm and moved to Elroy. Jean was an avid Bridge player who taught the game to many people and participated in numerous Bridge clubs with Jim. She loved family gatherings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Jean’s faith was very important to her. She was a devoted member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, taught religious education for over 30 years, and faithfully participated in Perpetual Adoration at St. Theresa’s Adoration Chapel in Union Center.
Survivors include her children, James (Patricia) of Cuba City, WI, Mary Sue (Michael) McGroarty of St. Paul, MN, Kurt (Jodee) of Mequon, WI, Michael (Eleanor) of Brisbane, Australia, Marty (former husband, Michael) Hussey of Madison, WI, and Patricia (Michael) Behan of Trempealeau, WI; 18 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; a brother, Jude (Joanne) Theibert of Sandusky, OH; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Meckstroth; and siblings, Leo (Marge) Theibert, Patricia (Edward) O’ Donnell, Esther Mary (Wilson) Loudenslagel, Jackie (Milt) Bruckner, and Loretta (Bill) Brown.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Milestone Senior Living for their devoted care of Jean.
