Obituary for Jean E. Stodart
Jean E. Stodart, 84, of Sinking Spring, passed away on July 8, 2016 at Reading Hospital following heart surgery.
She was born January 21, 1932 in DuBois, PA to George F. and Mildred L. (Smith) Solley and grew up in Curwensville, Clearfield County, PA near the entrance to the famous Bilger’s Rocks.
Jean attended a one-room school house along Anderson Creek Hill Road during the early years of her education. Her best early memories were of playing at her grandmother Susanna Solley’s house and with her beloved neighbors, Buzz and Virgie Michaels. She married Francis B. Stodart in Houtzdale, PA in 1951 and they lived briefly in Niagara Falls, NY, before returning to her husband’s hometown of Madera, PA, a place she dearly loved. There she was a volunteer election poll worker, a Girl Scout leader, and cared for her parents, neighbors, and in-laws and raised her family. In October 1992 she moved to Sinking Spring, PA to be nearer her four children.
Jean is survived by her children, Diane T., wife of James Yarger; Marilyn L., wife of Donald Faughner; Kevin F. Stodart; and Hugh C. Stodart all of Sinking Spring, PA. In addition are her grandchildren Courtney N. and Jacob T. Stodart, and former daughter-in-law, Teresa Stodart of Olanta, PA. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews including Linda Guerin and Sally Villar, all of Niagara Falls, NY, and her cat, Dollie. Jean enjoyed her trip to Disney World in 1986, a fond memory that lasted her lifetime. She loved animals and was a volunteer with Save A Yorkie Rescue. She was a Methodist, an organ donor, and a lifelong Democrat. Jean was predeceased by her husband, her parents, her sisters, Ruth Avanell Bennett and Dorothy Lubert, and a nephew, Joe Conrad.
