Saint Peters, MO - Jean Anne Dempf, of Aspen Ridge Court and formerly of Crimson Circle, Troy died Sunday, January 6, 2019, at St. Joseph’s Hospital West, Lake St Louis, MO after a brief illness.

Born in Passaic, NJ, she was the daughter of the late George Dequevauviller and Cathleen Daley Dequevauviller and wife of the late Alphons L. Dempf. She was raised and resided in Troy, enjoyed summers in her youth at Taconic Lake and acquired her passion for history
as a student at Russell Sage College. 

Jean and her daughter Susan shared a very special bond and devotion to each other. Spending time with Susan was Jean’s greatest joy. Always focused on learning and exploring, she welcomed opportunities to travel and meet new people. She was a very loving and dedicated friend who viewed those friendships as a gift from God.
