Obituary

Jeanne M. Vosefski, RN, Jermyn, PA, died Wednesday morning, November 1, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. Her beloved husband and best friend is Walter A. Vosefski. The couple celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary this year. Born in Carbondale, PA, she was the daughter of the late Frank Gilhool and Catherine Hughes Gilhool. She was a 1961 graduate of Ben Franklin High School and a 1964 graduate of St. Joseph's School of Nursing. She was a member of Saint Rose of Lima Parish. Jeanne had lived in Hazelton, Muncy, and Allentown before returning to Jermyn. Her greatest joy, along with being with all of her loved ones, was raising her son, Walter (Gator). Gator, who has special needs and is soon to be 47 years old, was not expected to live past one year. He is the glue and love that holds the family together. Jeanne's other strengths are her faith, nature, and life itself. She loved raising peacocks for years and cheering for her Scranton RailRiders. Also surviving are her three daughters from Jermyn, Maria Miller and her husband Sherwood, Laurie Steffee and her husband Greg, and Theresa Sears and her husband Marc; and one son, Walter Vosefski (Gator). She is also survived by her grandchildren, Kristen Hahn and her husband Jeffrey, Kaitlyn Gambone and her husband Francis, Matthew Miller and his wife Rachael, David Steffee, Sean Sears, and Brianna Sears; and four great grandchildren, Anna Miller, Carson Hahn, Dakota Steffee, and Alex Steffee. She was preceded in death by her four brothers, Jack, Paul, William, and Harold; and her sister, Ann Gilhool Howe. She is survived by two brothers, Francis X Gilhool and Ann, Kieran Gilhool and JoAnn; three sisters, Mary Vosefski, Florence McCarty and husband Thomas, and Grace Bognatz and husband Don.
