Jean E Niemi

Jean Elina Niemi, 82, formerly of Ahmeek, Michigan passed away surrounded by family January 23, 2018 in Prescott, Arizona. Jean was born in Chicago, Illinois to Hjalmar & Amanda (Haapala) Johnson on August 31, 1935. 

Jean enjoyed many things in life: traveling, antiquing, shopping, jewelry, shoes, purses, “bakery”, casinos, decorating, auctions, “junk” shops and much more. She could spot a garage sale a mile away. She was also fortunate enough to work for the Chicago Cubs and lived to see them win a World Series! 

Jean joins the love of her life, John Edward Niemi, in heaven now. She was also preceded by her son Loren Evanoff, sister Peggy (Johnson) Jacobsen and both parents.She is survived by her children, Michael Evanoff and his wife Debbie, Steven Evanoff, Joanne Evanoff, Kristofer Evanoff and his wife Nancy, and daughter-in-law Jill Pettit. Also surviving are her grandchildren Maximus & Madeline Evanoff and Amada Goldberg, Brittany Froehlke & Tristian Evanoff,  her sister Joan Heffellfinger, nieces, nephews & cousins, and her beloved dog Molly. 

Jean will be dearly missed by her family and a Memorial Service will be held for her and John in Ahmeek, Michigan later this summer.
