Jewel Ann Printy Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jewel Ann Printy, of Rensselaer, Indiana, passed away on December 13, 2017, at the age of 67. Ann was the only child of James A. Printy, Jr. and Helen (Porter) Printy, who both preceded her in death. Ann wanted it known that she planned to die of stubbornness and that she succeeded. Born on October 6, 1950, Jewel Ann grew up in Enos, Indiana. Those who are from the area will know her childhood home. It’s the farm on the right side of 41 as you drive north out of Morocco. Those not from the area will be hard pressed even to find Enos on a map. That rural Indiana farm was a great place to grow up in the 1950's. Ann had an amazing playhouse out in the yard and an old-fashioned rope swing. She had a pony named Glitter and a parade of farm cats too numerous to count. Ann enjoyed a good laugh, liked to tease, and had a big heart. Most everyone in Rensselaer has a story about Jewel Ann—from the Rensselaer Utility Office to the Kentland Bank. She leaves behind friends at the Kannal Avenue apartments who will miss her laugh but probably not her occasional cantankerous mood. She leaves behind her cousin Kay Printy who will miss her daily calls. Arrangements are being made through the Jackson Funeral Chapel of Rensselaer, Indiana. The family will hold a celebration of Ann’s life in the spring.
