Jechel, Elise Syblle (Born September 14, 1921, died January 24, 2015) Elise Jechel died peacefully after a short illness. She was pre-deceased by her father Friedrich Finkenberg and her mother Johanna Finkenberg, her brother Heinz-Willi Finkenberg, her first husband Wilhelm Wennmann and her second husband Klaus Jechel, and her son Wilhelm Wennmann. She is survived by her sister Herta Scheeler, her daughter Susanne Schurman (Dave) and her son Peter Jechel (Lynn). She is also survived by loving grandchildren Robin Schurman, Nicholas Schurman, Christopher Jechel and Dale Jechel. Elise lived a life devoted to selfless acts of kindness and generosity which were inspired by a profound sense of humanity. She was devoted to children as a teacher, a mother and a grandmother. With this insight she gently guided her family's understanding of one another. She was the quintessential wife, mother and grandmother and was aptly described by one of her grandchildren as a "beacon of goodness". Our dear "Oma" shared with all who met her, a deep, positive energy. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her. A private service will be held at a future date. Donations in memory of Elise may be made to a children's charity of your choice.
