Mary Jean (Martine) Peketz passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones on July 18th at the age of 91. Born in Plymouth County, Iowa, February 12, 1927, Mary Jean was raised in LeMars, Iowa by her parents Frank and Irene Martine.

Mary Jean finished her career working for Eggelhof Incorporated retiring in 1997. She was a warm, creative and soulful woman who encouraged her family to be hardworking and resilient.
