Maryam "Jeannie" Brylke Wentz went to be with her Lord on Tuesday July 11, 2017 after a long, but courageous battle with leukemia at her home in Lancaster, PA. Jeannie was born June 7, 1946 in Hagerstown MD. She grew up in Hanover, PA and was a 1964 graduate of Delone Catholic High School. Jeannie held various positions in the transportation industry during her working life including working for Yellow Freight, New Penn, and Pitt Ohio. Attending Catholic schools as a young person taught Jeannie to be compassionate for those in need which extended into her adult life where she enjoyed participating as a member of the local Lions Club in Lancaster, PA. Loved ones who cleared the path for Jeannie are her father Robert J. Brylke, her beloved mother Eulaliah "Lee" Brylke, and her younger sister Barbara Jo Weigard. Loved ones who will miss Jeannie until they meet again are her husband of forty-three years Nevin "Butch" Wentz, her son and daughter in-law Ian and Traci Swisher, her son and daughter in-law Matthew and Diana Wentz, and her son Marcus Swisher. One of the greatest joys of her life was being a Grandmother or "Mee-Maw" to her eight Grandchildren Dylan Swisher, Jared Swisher, Adison Swisher, Mariah Swisher, Morgan Wentz, Sophia Lee Wentz, Molly Jo Wentz, and Henry Wentz. Jeannie is also survived by her older brother and sister Robert Riddle and Carol Damewood as well as family members and friends who will cherish their time spent with her. Jeannie was happiest surrounded by family, friends, and especially her best childhood girlfriends some of whom were waiting to welcome her to her eternal home and some who will keep her memory alive with stories of their time spent together. Jeannie is remembered for her beautiful smile, her vivacious spirit, and her never ending love of her family and friends.
