Myra "Jean" Harbeck

Myra “Jean” Teague Harbeck departed this life on May 28, 2021, at the age of 93. She was born in Ramer, TN on January 29,1928, the daughter of John Tee and Vivian Blasingame Teague.

Jean attended Ramer High School, leaving before graduation to move to Memphis then later moving to Sioux City, IA where she spent the majority of her life.

Jean was a member of Ramer Baptist Church and the Believers Sunday School Class. She was independent, always ready for an adventure, loved to shop, and enjoyed baking chocolate chip cookies and brownies in her “toy oven.” After shopping all day, she loved to go out to eat catfish and ice cream. Her Savior and family were the ones she loved the most. Gospel music by Elvis was her favorite. She loved watching the Memphis Grizz, mostly because it was her sister Trish’s favorite, but she didn’t miss watching many games on tv and was even able to attend a few in person. A favorite pastime was playing dominoes with her family at Pickwick.

She is survived by sons John (Monette) Harbeck of Sioux City, IA and Bill (Cheri) Harbeck of Port Orange, FL; sister Patricia (Dennis) Smith of Selmer, TN; sister-in-law Ruth Teague of Corinth, MS; granddaughter Brianne (Jeff) Felts of Hinton, IA and grandson Ryan Andzelik of Jacksonville, FL; great-grandchildren Brody and Emersyn Felts and Elizabeth and Kaitlyn Andzelik; as well as a host of nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great-nieces and nephew.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by infant children Samuel L. and Jeannie Renee; sisters Mary Ellen Walton, Bobby Sue Demo, Polly Coleman, and Dot Locke; and brother Morris Teague.

The family would like to express special thanks to Bro. Joe Loncar of Ramer Baptist Church, Leslie, Melissa, and Bro. Ron from Legacy Hospice, and the staff at Adamsville Healthcare and Rehabilitation.
