January 17, 2017

Jeanne Hutton Preisendanz, 89, of Lititz, PA, and formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 at Luther Acres.
She was the wife of the late Edward Snyder Preisendanz, who passed away this past June 23, 2016. Born in DuBois, PA, she was the daughter of the late Cyrus and Edna Albert Hutton.

Jeanne enjoyed traveling with her husband to Germany, Holland and western Europe over the years. She was an avid bird watcher, enjoying the Middle Creek Wildlife Area in Stevens. She also enjoyed biking, hiking, and had played the flute and the piano. Her greatest treasure was her family, always having a that special twinkle in her eye for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Preisendanz of Iowa City, IA; her 6 grandchildren, her 4 great grandchildren, and her daughter-in-law, Judi Preisendanz. She was preceded in death by her son, J.
