Janelle Tyree

Janelle Tyree passed away peacefully in her home on August 16th 2021 at age 81. Janelle was born on August 17th 1939 in Red Oak Township Missouri. She was a loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt. She was proceeded in death by her parents Ralph W. Tyree and Beulah L. (McClure) Tyree, her two Sisters and five Brothers. She is survived by her Two Daughters, Susan Paddock McNeil and Cheryl Paddock, Son in-law Greg McNeil, Grandson Nicholas J. Paddock, and one Great Grandson. Her Brother Gene Tyree and Sister in-law Patsy Tyree, Sister in-law Norma Tyree, as well as many Nieces, Nephews and Great Nieces and Nephews.

Janelle came of age at the same time of cars and Rock n Roll. She taught her High School how to dance, and have a good time. Janelle loved her daughters more than life itself. Then a Grandson was added to the family who she was over the moon in love with. She worked hard to make sure she was well educated and could easily take care of her family. Her love of traveling the world with her daughters and grandson was icing on the family cake.

Janelle was born on the same day as the movie release of the Wizard of Oz.

"As I stand on the mountain top, as the great bird approaches. She is small in my sight, but grows larger on approach until I am blessed with the full sight of her graceful wings, proud countenance and good company. All too quickly, she grows small again on the horizon and disappears from view. And I call out, "Look, there. She's gone." But there are other mountaintops beyond me. And at the precise moment when I note the great bird's departure from my view, I know there are new eyes taking up the sight of her. And fresh voice calling out, "Here she comes!""

~Henry Van Dyke

We are all so very grateful to have had her with us for so many years. Our hearts are very full and empty at the same time. We shall miss her every day.
