Jean Elizabeth Gorman, age 88, passed away peacefully, on Friday, September 8, 2023, at her home in the Town of Lebanon, Wisconsin. Jean was born on April 10, 1935 in Pella, Wisconsin to the late John and Clara (Peter) Mansee. She married Edward Gorman on August 1, 1964, and together, they had a beautiful daughter.

In her younger years, she enjoyed bowling, dancing, especially with Ed, and trips to Shawano Lake.

Jean is survived by her daughter, Joan (David) Sprenger, a sister in law, Patricia Leary, and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Clara; her loving husband of 58 years, Ed; and her siblings, Dora (Cleland) Popke, Selma (Lyle) Schwenke, Donald (Eunice) Mansee.
