Jean's obituary
Jean was born on March 5, 1935 in Olyphant, PA to Mary and John Peernock. She graduated from Keystone Community College in 1955 with a degree in Medical Technology and enjoyed a life-long career at Mercy Hospital in Scranton. She married John N. Stange, III in 1986.
Jean was a talented ballroom dancer, an avid skier and a long-time member of St. Cyril’s Choir. Jean was passionate about helping others and she generously volunteered her time and resources at Allied Services Rehab Hospital and St. Joseph’s Center and was secretary of the Scranton Ski Club.
Jean is survived by her husband of 33 years, John N. Stange, III, sister, Cathie Peernock, brother, Robert Peernock, her children, Jeff and Chris Pirhalla, Reverend John Stange IV, Tami Christianson, Stephanie Basalyga, fifteen grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
A visitation is scheduled for Thursday, February 27, from 4-7 pm at John J Turko & Sons Funeral Home, 402 Boulevard Ave, Dickson City. A funeral is scheduled for 10 am on Friday, February 28 at SS Cyril and Methodius Ukrainian Catholic Church, Olyphant, PA, with a reception to follow at 12 noon at La Buona Vita, 200 Reilly St., Dunmore, PA. Father Nestor Iwasiw will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jean’s life. The family previously resided in Delaware and would like to thank the nurses and caregivers at Delaware Hospice for their care and dedication. After returning to Olyphant in 2018, the hospice professionals at Asera Care Hospice provided loving care and support to the family until her passing.
