Jean Marie Winter

July 4, 1922 - April 29, 2014

Jean Marie Hambleton took the Highway to Heaven Tuesday evening, April 29, 2014. She was born in Moline, IL on the Fourth of July 1922. Jean always had a song in her heart. She was a talented pianist and vocalist and shared her gifts with friends and family throughout her life. Jean loved to play card games and was always a worthy opponent. A favorite quote when she was trouncing us was “You know I love you, but a game’s a game.” She was also an ardent nature lover who passed that love on to all of her children from an early age. More than anything else, though, she will be remembered for her unconditional love of her family. She will be greatly missed by her five children: Terry (Tom) Braaten, Moline, IL; Dawn (Spiro) Dellos, Franklin, TN; Nina Morningstar, Prescott Valley, AZ; Deborah (Ted) Burch, Pensacola, FL; and Carl William “Bill” (Kayelle) Schultze, Loveland, CO. Jean was a fun and loving “Gigi” to 17 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by stepsons Mark (Kathy) Winter, Aurora, CO; Paul (Betty) Winter, Tucson, AZ and their families and by two sisters: Maurine (Lyle) Beresford and Nancy Schroeder. Jean was preceded in death by two beloved husbands: A. W. “Bill” Schultze and William F. Winter; parents James Lee “Doc” and Bertha Youngquist Hambleton; brother, Tom Hambleton; and grandson, Levi Hunter Hans. Private services are being handled by Sunrise Funeral Home in Prescott Valley, AZ.
