Jeanette "Jean" Margaret
White
May 20, 1933 — Dec 27, 2022
Jeanette "Jean" Margaret (Frahm) White, 89, Wausau Wisconsin, died on December 27, 2022 at Mount View Care Center. Jean was born on a farm in the Town of Bern to George and Esther (Conrad) Frahm on May 20, 1933. After graduating from Athens High School, she worked for Allis Chalmers in Milwaukee. She went to a Colorado guest ranch near Winter Park on vacation and ended up working there, where she became a very good skier. When she returned to Wausau she got a job at a bowling alley. Donald White was at the bowling alley bowling one night and he knew "she was the girl for him". Each time he would buy a 10 cent beer and cigar, he would give her a 10 cent tip. They were married on September 8, 1956 in Athens and enjoyed 47 years together, skiing, camping, fishing, traveling, their trailer on the Willow Flowage and spending time with the grandkids. Jean retired from the Wausau School District. After the death of her beloved husband Don in 2003, Jean bought a lakeside trailer at Watter's Edge Campground where she had the most wonderful friends. She continued to travel and enjoyed talking politics with her brother-in-law Wayne Kazda, who visited her often. Mom said she was a nut that cracked her shell and lived the life she wanted.
Jean is survived by her daughter Julie White (Joe Holzem), twin sons Jody (Mary) White and Cory (Sharon) White. Grandchildren: Ben (Brianna) Holzem, Travis (Meghann) White, Tyler White, Tim (Amanda) White, Joshua (Ashley) White, Courtney (Adam) Klade, Luke White (Brooke Jisko). Great-Grandchildren: Kyrah, Hailey, Maxton, Madilynn, Reed, Ryker, Kinsley and great-granddaughter Lainey due to arrive soon. Sister Georgian (Jim) Grassman and brother Robert (Claudia) Frahm. In-laws: Robert (Virgine) White, Wayne Kazda and Doug (Sheryl) Kazda.
