Jeanne Lois Sturm was born March 7, 1922, to John Sr. and Gretchen (Metzen) Sturm in Cottonwood Township. She graduated from New Ulm High School in 1940. On February 18, 1950, she was united in marriage to Raymond Wech at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in New Ulm. The couple farmed and raised their family together in rural New Ulm. Jeanne was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, St. Elizabeth Society Catholic Aid and the Christian Mothers. Jeanne enjoyed gardening, baking, sewing, quilting, puzzles and playing cards but she especially loved taking care of her family and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Blessed be her memory.
