Jeanne Marie Drew, daughter of John H. and Joeann (Mulroney) Turck, was born March 7, 1928 in Emmetsburg, Iowa. Jeanne Marie received her education and graduated from St. Mary's Academy in Emmetsburg.

On June 18, 1949, Jeanne was united in marriage to Maurice Drew at Assumption Catholic Church in Emmetsburg. To this union five children were born. Jeanne and Maurice began farming in Palo Alto County in 1950. In 1960 they moved to their farm near Cylinder where Jeanne was still residing until the time of her death.

Jeanne was a devoted member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Emmetsburg and Catholic Daughters of the Americas.

Growing up in a large family taught Jeanne to be a loving and caring individual, putting others first and always being willing to assist wherever she could. She continued this love and care as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend, opening her heart and home to everyone. She was a fabulous cook and baker and loved every minute of entertaining friends and family, whether it be for a few guests in her home or the Turck family reunions. Jeanne was a beautiful seamstress and sewed many items of clothing for herself and her family.

Jeanne passed away Sunday, February 16, 2020, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the age of 91. Maintaining her independence was of utmost importance to Jeanne and she accomplished this in top fashion...never wanting to be a burden on anyone. She was the caretaker.

Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Maurice; siblings, Shirley Roehler, Mary Jane Lovell, Johnny Turck, Ronnie Turck, Jim Turck, Bob Turck, Marty Turck, Mary Angela Zeimet and four siblings in infancy, Helen, Alice, Thomas, and Margaret.

She is survived by her children, Gary Drew and his wife, Marilyn of Maquoketa, Iowa, Betsy Drew of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Denise Reit and her husband, Loren of Spencer, Iowa, Mary Drew of Clear Lake, Iowa and Dan Drew and his wife, Cathy of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; seven grandchildren; five great grandchildren; siblings, Terry (Elaine) Turck of Portland, Oregon, Sheila (Don) Atkinson of Brooklyn, Iowa, Mike (Loni) Turck of Chicago, Illinois, Donny (Jeannie) Turck of Des Moines, Iowa, Wayne Turck of Emmetsburg, Iowa, Cathy (Rick) Dale of Armstrong, Iowa; and Jerry (Dora) Turck of Everett, Washington; many nieces, nephews and cousins; as well as many other relatives and countless friends.
