Jean Ann Lytle, 73, of Mallard Lane, Duncansville, PA; passed away on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at home surrounded by her family. She was born on October 31, 1951, in Altoona, PA; a daughter of the late John and Beatrice (Myers) Love. She was united in marriage to Steven E. Lytle.
Along with her husband, Steve, she is survived by children Jared Lytle married to Debbye, Leesburg, VA; Michael King married to Laura, Pittsburgh, PA and Ami Cortese married to Anthony IV, Pittsburgh, PA; grandchildren Braxton, Noah, Brendan, Anthony V and Luca; great-grandchild Pearson; siblings Jane Wingard, Joan Mack married to Bill, Debbie Mellott married to Jeff, John Love married to Judy and Scott Love married to Sylvia; sister-in-law Trudy Lytle and countless nieces, nephews and cousins.
Jean was a graduate of The Altoona High School Class of 1969. She worked alongside her husband in the creation of many businesses as part of the Lytle Family of Companies for more than 40 years. She spent her working years as the Co -Owner, Vice-President, and Financial Officer for Lytle Group of Companies.
She was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church. In her early years she was active in the family ministries and also a member of the Marantha Ministries and Marantha Singers.
Jean enjoyed putting puzzles together, traveling and was an avid Penn State and Pittsburgh Steelers fan but above all she enjoyed spending time with her kids and grandchildren.
Jean was a quiet person, never wanting the limelight or recognition. She loved God, her family, and this country. She inspired many who knew her as she was always giving to family, friends, and many she didn’t even know. Jean was a kind, loving and giving person. She was dedicated to her Christian faith and in quietly helping others, again without recognition.
As a memorial to honor Jean, we are having an informal gathering to celebrate Jean’s life at The Good Funeral Home, Saturday, May 31, 2025.
Come visit, with family and friends to just talk and be together in this time. As Jean wanted no formal funeral service but a relaxed time just to be together. So, visit anytime from 2-5 PM on Saturday.
Also, we are creating a memory book, and we would love to collect your thoughts and memories of Jean before Saturday.
So, If you have thoughts of Jean, please write them down and send them to us so we can print them ahead of the gathering, for all to see.
Also, if you have a picture of you or your family with a special relationship or activity with Jean, please send it digitally. We will add it to our video stream and will be showing it during the gathering with pictures of Jean and her family.
Please Send them to: AmiLytle@gmail.com
As mentioned, Jean was always giving, so in lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to Faith United Methodist Church in Woodbury Pa or to CBN / 700 Club Ministries Virgina Beach Va.
She always said:
BE KIND, FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING A BATTLE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. So, help and give to others!
We all miss her so much, rest in God arms Jean, love you much, I am blessed to be your husband.
