Roseann M. Jerdee Obituary (2023)

Roseann Jerdee, age 92, of Beach Park, IL, formerly of Waukegan, IL, sadly passed away Friday, November 24, 2023, in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who always put her family first; the moral compass of the family. Roseann and her late husband, Adolph, were married on August 28, 1954, and happily married for 53 years. They loved taking road trips together, spending winters in Arizona and visiting Cape Cod in the summer. They enjoyed spending time with their best friends from their “Cookie Club,” golfing and attending college football games. Roseann is preceded in death by her husband, Adolph (Ace) Jerdee; parents, John & Margaret Repp; brothers, Richard (Dick) Repp, Frank Repp, John Repp and sister Marie Repp Zalaznik. She is survived by her sister Margaret Repp Heaphy; her four children, Theodore (Pamela Tracey) Jerdee, Jeffrey (Pamela Beier) Jerdee, Mary Kay (Pam Green) Jerdee, and Douglas Jerdee; her five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces, nephews, and long-time friends. There will be a private Celebration of Life at a later date for the family to honor Roseann’s life; focusing on the happy memories and the legacy she leaves behind.
