Ima June “Jean” Mates, age 92, died peacefully at Evansville Manor on Thursday, January 31, 2019. She was a sweet southern lady who loved the Lord. Jean was born in Porum, Oklahoma on June 21, 1926, the daughter of Leonard and Laura (Baker) Green.

She graduated from North Little Rock Arkansas High School in 1944. She married Gordon Cassel in 1945 and had 2 children, Gary (Kaye) Muth and Linda (Jack) Finch. She married Louis Eldon “Ed” Muth in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1950 and had 2 children, Ken (Brenda) Muth and Donna (Joe) Siefkes.

Ed and Jean owned and operated the Sunshine Café in Jacksonville, Arkansas and moved to Janesville, Wisconsin in 1958 where she worked at May’s drug store, Kroger grocery store, and Kealy pharmacy. Ed died in 1987. Jean married Carl Mates in Rockford, Illinois in 1991 and he preceded her in death on December 29, 2018.

Always a lady, Jean was polite, hospitable and never left the house without matching accessories, manicured nails, and every hair in place. Jean was a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and attended weekly meetings throughout her life. She became a fan of Weight Watchers fudge bars and continued enjoying them up until her death – her children made sure the freezer was always fully stocked.

Ever the hostess, Jean was always ready with a cup of decaf coffee and a friendly ear in her neighborhood coffee klatch. Jean’s super power was making friends wherever she went. Her loving smile, greeting of “hello darlin” and hugs will be deeply missed.

Jean is survived by her 4 children and their spouses, 10 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, husbands, and siblings Opal, Amos, Harold, Douglas, and Marina. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, February 11, 2019, with Pastor Matthew Poock officiating at SCHNEIDER FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY.

A visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service at the Funeral Home.
