Jeanne Krenek

Lorain- Jeanne (nee: Doyle) Krenek, 79, was taken by Jesus on Monday, September 26, 2011 after a long illness to join her parents, Charles and Evah (nee: Gfell) Doyle and brother, James Doyle. She died at home in peace surrounded by her loving family.

Jeanne is survived by three daughters, Jill Krenek, Jacqui Ladikos and Susie Krenek; brother, Robert Doyle; and nine grandchildren.

Jeanne was born in Lorain, OH and lived there most of her life. She earned her associate degree in secretarial Science at Lorain County Community College in 1974. She retired from Lorain County Transit Board where her duties included Administration Executive secretary and financial operations. Jeanne was best known for her contribution to the skating world. She began skating at the age of two and continued teaching into her early seventies. Jeanne was known on a local, national and international level. She had 14 national champions as well as numerous local and state titles. Her adventurous spirit and good nature did not fade as years progressed. There was not a rollercoaster that she would not ride even in her seventies. Her positive attitude was an inspiration to all that knew her. Her legacy will be that age is just a number and nothing is impossible.

The family will receive friends at Reidy-Scanlan-Giovannazzo Funeral Home, 2150 Broadway, Lorain, OH (440) 244-1961 on Friday, September 30, 2011 from 2-4 & 7-9 PM and at Church on the North Coast, 4125 Leavitt Rd., Lorain, OH on Saturday, October 1, 2011 from 10:30 11:00 AM.

Dear Jacque, Sue and Jill, Dan and I were so sorry to read about your mom's passing. We both know how hard it is to lose a mother. When you lose your mother you lose your best friend, cheerleader and earthly advocate. Our thoughts are with all of you. She still remains with you in spirit. God Bless, Dan and Tammy Beeman

Dear family members of Jeanne - I just found out about the news of Jeanne's passing, and I am so saddened. We have truly lost an infectious and vivacious spirit and soul in Jeanne Krenek. I started skating at Skate World when I was 9 years old. I quickly fell in love with the sport, and I soon realized that I wasn't half bad but wanted to be so much better. Jeanne took me under her wing, and she taught me how to be poised, graceful, skillful, and graciously artistic as a roller skater. She believed in me, and she pushed and challenged me to do my best. I loved her as a teacher, mentor, and friend. She helped me gain self-confidence that was much needed. I only skated until Age 14, but Jeanne was always my one and only coach. I never skated under anyone else. I returned to the skating scene for fun about 5 years ago, and Jeanne walked into the Roll Arena with her skating bag, anxiously waiting to provide a lesson to her next up & coming skating star. Your obituary reads very true. Jeanne never dwelled on her illness or her age. She focused on her selfless desire to provide coaching and her passion for artistic skating, and she used both of these powerful gifts to grace the lives of so many fortunate to have known and skating under her direction. Jeanne will forever be missed by all that knew and loved her. May you always know how special Jeanne was to me. Thank you, Jeanne. May you forever rest in peace and skate in heaven, where you will shine!

Jeannie and I taught together for many years at both Lorain Skateworld and Rollarena in Elyria. She was a very special lady that the skating world was lucky to have! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Rest in peace Jeannie.
