Jean LeBreck
July 29, 1948 — May 26, 2026
Jean LeBreck, born on July 29, 1948, in Beloit, Wisconsin, passed peacefully on May 26, 2026, after a courageous battle with dementia. Jean's journey of life, filled with love, dedication, and service, will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.
Jean was the beloved daughter of James and Margaret Hamill, who, along with her brother Donald Hamill, sister Liz Conrad, and infant grandson Austin, preceded her in death. She is survived by her cherished daughter Angela LeBreck and son-in-law Jake Lasee, and her treasured grandson Jake LeBreck, who brought immense joy to her life. Jean’s presence will be dearly missed by her siblings James (Myrna) Hamill, Lorraine Orland, Tom Hamill, Gerald (Susan) Hamill, Mary (David) Francis, Raymond (Susan) Hamill, Patricia Ostrander, John Hamill, Jane (Jack) Sanden, Joseph Hamill, Kathleen Smith, and Richard (Mary) Hamill, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Jean's life was a testament to the power of education and hard work. After graduating from Beloit Catholic High School in 1966, she pursued her Bachelors of Science degree at UW Whitewater. Driven by a desire for knowledge and advancement, she later earned her MBA from UW Oshkosh. Jean applied her expertise in hematology during her years at St. Mary's Hospital and NWTC. In her retirement, she channeled her entrepreneurial spirit into opening "All Things Considered," a beloved store in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, where she shared her passion for unique and meaningful finds with the community.
Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, and she was an active member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in DePere, Wisconsin. A woman of generosity and kindness, Jean engaged with various clubs, including PEO, book clubs, and birthday clubs, and tirelessly volunteered at elementary schools, church events, and local food pantries. Jean's warmth was evident in her ability to make everyone feel important and welcomed. Her selflessness and willingness to help those in need were hallmarks of her character that touched the lives of many.
In her personal life, Jean was deeply devoted to her family. Her greatest joy was the time spent with her daughter, son-in-law, her precious grandson, and her siblings. She embodied love and faith, virtues she considered the greatest gifts bestowed upon her by the Holy Spirit.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Residence by Rennes and to Julie and Nicole, whose unwavering kindness and patience over the years provided Jean with comfort and care during her illness. Their support meant the world to Jean and her family.
As we celebrate the life of Jean LeBreck, we remember her for her incredible spirit, her unwavering faith, and her boundless love for family and friends. Her legacy of kindness and generosity will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing her. Jean will be profoundly missed, but her memory will forever remain in our hearts.
