Obituary for
Lois "Jean" Shoop
Our loving wife and mother (Lois) Jean Shoop, passed away on October 31, 2019.
Born on January 28, 1944 to late Louis and Loretta Baumann in St. Louis, MO. Beloved wife of 40 years to Terry Shoop. Loving mother of Tracey Shoop and Jamie Shoop. Sister to Lorraine Gerfers and the late Carl Baumann. Dear aunt of David Gerfers, Diann LaBella, and Cheri Porcello.
Jean spent many years teaching piano but then turned her attention to helping families. She spent most of her life as a special education advocate. Jean was a champion for children with disabilities and their families for many years. Jean was always willing to share her time, her energy, and her intellect to support a mom or dad who called in need. Even as she dealt with increasing health issues, Jean was always willing to get on the phone and talk with families in need.
A celebration of Jean’s life will be held at The Crossing at Fenton Church, 1800 Bowles Ave., in Fenton, MO. on Sun., November 10, 2019 from 3-5pm. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Autism Speaks in her name.
