Edrie Marie Jett

Edrie Marie Jett, age 94, of St. Louis, and formerly of Belle, passed away Sunday, January 3, 2021 at Gasconade Manor in Owensville.  

She was born March 7, 1926, in Summerfield, a daughter to the late Robert E. and Emma (Hafner) Shanks. She was a member of the Liberty Church of Christ as a child.

On March 2, 1946 she united in marriage to Louis Jett in Columbus, Kansas. Edrie graduated from Beautician school in Kansas. Louis preceded her in death on July 24, 1996.        

Edrie had been employed at Boeing in St. Louis as a computer programmer and retired after over 30 years of service.

Edrie enjoyed cooking, reading, and sewing and making her own clothing. She and her husband Louis liked to go on vacations to various places and both enjoyed skeet shooting. She was as good as he was with a gun. She loved getting together with family at gatherings and at the holidays. She will be missed greatly by her family and friends.

Edrie is survived by: two sisters, Mildred Rogers and her husband Wayne of Hazelwood and Norma Wehmeyer and her husband Frank of Owensville; three nieces and nephews, Gary Wehmeyer, Tricia Ridder and Steven Wayne Rogers; two great nephews, Trace and Trigg Ridder; and two sisters-in-law, Vera Thompson and Wanda Jett as well as many extended family members and friends.
