Jeannine Mary Sexauer

Jeannine Sexauer (1957-2025)
aka “Mom” aka “Grammy Jean”

The “master key” to our family. She had a passion for anything crafty, especially crocheting. She was the thread which weaved through each of our homes, leaving reminders of her everywhere we look, adding a touch of special wherever she went. Mom loved to cheer on her St. Louis Cardinals, but not as much as she loved to cheer on her family. To Mom, family wasn't an important thing, it was everything. Being together was the greatest gift, whether it was magical Christmas mornings, unforgettable vacations, or just a short visit here and there. You always felt loved around Mom. She lived and loved by her favorite motto: "Be-YOU-tiful" Be yourself, Be confident, Be kind, and you will always be beautiful.

That’s Amore.

Jeannine was born May 24, 1957 in St Louis, to Lester and LaVerne Wolken.
