Jaynee M Gilderbloom
July 7, 1946 — October 26, 2022
Jaynee Marlene Gilderbloom was born July 7, 1946 in Des Moines, Iowa the daughter of Homer and Elberta (Wroughton) Gilderbloom.
She grew up on West Street, in Pleasantville, Iowa, next door to her grandma Annie Gilderbloom and Lester, Lavon, Dixie and Les Gilderbloom. Also across the street from Irving, Frenchie, Judy, Marge and Rose Mary…you might say the entire Gilderbloom clan.
She attended K-12 at Pleasantville Schools, graduating in 1964. Jaynee then went to Central Missouri State College in Warrensburg to pursue a career in elementary education. Jaynee graduated in 1968 and accepted a 2nd Grade position at Columbus Elementary in Chariton, Iowa. “Miss G.” as her students called her, taught in Chariton until she retired in 2012.
Her passion and love for children was rewarded in 2005 when she was awarded “The Golden Apple Award” from WHO TV 13. Miss G was quoted as saying, “I always wanted to teach, I love what I do – I love it.”
Jaynee loved her cousins and friends. She loved to take them on walks to find Monarch butterflies. During the Christmas Season she took them on rides to look at all the decorations. She was also a 53 year member of the Order of Eastern Star.
Jaynee passed away Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at Accura Care, in Pleasantville, at the age 76 years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Elberta Gilderbloom.
Jaynee is survived by her cousins: Judy Krewson, Marge Mix, Rose Mary Anderson, Dixie Gilderbloom, Les Gilderbloom and Betsy White; aunt, Nel Thompson; many other family members and friends and countless students whose lives she positively impacted.
The family would like say “Thank You for the remarkable care and love” to some very special people in Jaynee’s life: Bob and Linda Johns, Accura Care Center and Suncrest Hospice.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Columbus Elementary School in Chariton or the Pleasantville Christian Church.
