Jean M. Ritzman
Age 70

Jean left us to go home with the Lord on February 6, 2025, at Geisinger Medical Center.

Born on May 25, 1954, she was the daughter of Mardell S. Wiest and Jacob A. Walz, who preceded her in death.

Jean was a 1974 graduate of Shikellamy High School and a 1976 graduate of Central Pennsylvania Business College, where she earned an associate degree in accounting. She applied her education in her career at Weis Markets' office in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, until her retirement in 2020.

On October 20, 1979, she married her husband, Charles Ritzman, at the United Lutheran Church of Sunbury.

Jean was a kind and giving person, always willing to help anyone in need. Those fortunate enough to have known her can attest that she was a true angel on earth.

She loved animals and cherished spending time with family and friends. She enjoyed traveling, trying different restaurants, and was always up for a new adventure.

Jean is survived by her husband of 45 years, Charles; her son, Bradley, and his wife, Emelie; her daughter, Kelly, and her husband, Jimmy Bowman; her sister, Peggy, and her husband, Tim Lagerman; her brother-in-law, Tom, and his wife, Carol Ritzman; and her grandchildren, Katie and Kaleb Bowman. She is also survived by her nieces and nephews: Timothy, Daniel, David, and Janeen Lagerman; Sarah and Matthew Benek; and Erin, Claire, and Natalie Turbo.

A viewing will be held at the Blank Funeral Home, 395 State Street, Sunbury on Thursday, February 13, 2025, from 5–7 PM, and on Friday, February 14, 2025, from 10–11 AM at the United Lutheran Church, 167 Seven Points Road, Sunbury, PA 17801. Funeral services will follow at 11:00 AM.
