Jeannine Hartman Obituary

Jeannine Ann Hartman

Our beloved mother, Jeannine Ann (Stewart) Hartman, 93, of Bluffton, passed peacefully Friday, Sept. 16, 2022, at Mennonite Memorial Home, Bluffton.

Mom was born April 30, 1929, in a farmhouse outside Bluffton to the late Madison Stewart and Mary Kidd Stewart.

On Aug. 29, 1946, she eloped with "the best-looking man she'd ever seen," Floyd Hartman, who preceded her in death.

She was a devoted mother of seven who affectionately called her "Wonder Woman."

She was a hard worker, whether it be on a tractor, working in the garden on their farm, at Triplett in Bluffton, or serving as librarian at Bristol Elementary and Mount Abraham High School in Bristol, Vermont.

Her favorite sayings were "Look it up!" and "Keep Looking Up!" She loved good quotes and enjoyed sharing them at Maple Crest.

Mom's love for sewing included wedding gowns, flannel shirts, and countless precious quilts for family and people she never met.

Survivors include four daughters, Cheryl (Cliff) Eastman of Findlay, Janice von Stein of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, Jeanette Brush of Salisbury, Vermont, and Carol (Kris) Roscoe of Bristol, Vermont; son, Steven (Sherraine) Hartman of Ball Ground, Georgia; eight grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was also preceded in death by two sons, Stanley Hartman and Michael Hartman; grandson, Scott Roscoe; son-in-law, Fletcher Brush; and two brothers, Darrell Stewart and Wendell Stewart.

Services will be 11 a.m. Monday, Sept. 19, 2022, at Chiles-Laman Funeral and Cremation Services, Bluffton. Visitation will be 10-11 a.m. Monday at the funeral home. Pastor Donald Clinger will officiate. Burial will be at Thompson Cemetery, Bluffton, following the service.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio, 410 W. Elm Street, Bluffton, Ohio, 45817, or United Church of Lincoln, 23 Quaker St., Lincoln, Vermont, 05443.

Our family extends our deepest gratitude to Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio and all those who have loved and supported her throughout the years.
