Delaine Doris Jantzen

Delaine Doris Jantzen, 82, of Sharpsburg, Georgia, passed away on September 29, 2023 in Newnan, Georgia. There will be no services. Delaine Doris (Neuharth) Jantzen daughter of Fred and Edna (Schnabel) Neuharth was born February 27, 1941 in Eureka, South Dakota. She was raised on the family farm northwest of Eureka, South Dakota. Delaine got her elementary and high school education in Eureka. She graduated with the class of 1959 from Eureka High School and a short time after graduation she moved to Lodi, California. Here she was employed as a nanny and then worked for the telephone company as an operator. Delaine was united in marriage to Kenneth Duane Jantzen on June 24, 1960 in Lodi, California. They moved to Florence, Colorado where her husband worked as a police officer before moving back to California in 1962. They later returned to Colorado, and by 1979 they resided in Livermore, California. In 2006, Delaine and Duane moved to Sharpsburg Georgia where they lived until 2010. They then moved to Delaine's hometown of Eureka, South Dakota. After the death of Duane in 2013, Delaine moved to Pleasanton, California to live with her daughter Dalene, and in 2021 they moved to Sharpsburg, Georgia. After her retirement Delaine took pride in watching her grandchildren play sports. She made the huge accomplishment of meeting 7 out of 8 of her great-grandchildren with one due at the end of October. Delaine's favorite hobby besides being with her grandchildren was sewing. Any chance she got, she loved to share her creations with everyone. Delaine is survived by her one son Darel (Veronica) Jantzen of Newnan, Georgia, two daughters Debbie (Stanley) Gravance of Riverdale, California and Dalene (Timothy) Harrison of Sharpsburg, Georgia; her sister Carol Lutz of Eureka, South Dakota; grandchildren Brooke (David) Arias, Kirby (Matthew) Moreno, Colby Gravance, Toya (Spencer) Kemmmerer, Tiffany (William) Theofanopoulos, and Taylor Harrison; and great-grandchildren Hayden, Wyatt, Riley, Mayce, Tucker, Kayden, Callie, and Stetson.
