June 9, 1933 ~ May 27, 2018
Peggy Jean (Jones) Jelinek was born June 9, 1933 in Anthony, KS. She was the youngest child born to Albert and Marian (Jeffries) Jones. She graduated from Anthony High School and later went to cosmetology school. She married Joe Jelinek on June 7, 1952 in Phoenix City, Alabama and to this union they were blessed with two children, Marilyn and Richard.
Peggy spent several years working at Cessna and also had her own beauty shop in downtown Anthony, KS. Her most memorable years were raising her kids while working alongside Joe on the farm, custom harvesting, and managing their fertilizer business. Peggy was active in many groups within her community from the local Saddle Club to knitting groups. After retirement, Peggy and Joe spent time with grandkids and traveled some. She and Joe loved to go to the casinos along with their friends Chuck and Barbara Holomek.
Peggy was very artistic and loved creating different arts and crafts. She painted, sketched, knitted, sculpted, basket-weaved, and sewed many clothes for her family. She also loved animals, especially her horse Billy Chick and dog Sparky. Peggy also enjoyed gardening beside Joe.
Peggy passed away Sunday, May 27, 2018 at the hospital in Anthony, KS at the age of 84. She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Marian Jones; her son, Richard Jelinek; brother, Willis Jones; sisters, Nadine Clark and Genevieve Barber and two great-grandchildren.

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest. There is no need for tears for with your love I was so blessed for all those many years.

I have fond memories of Peggy - especially her home made Chicken & Noodles that I had the pleasure of tasting for the first time in South Dakota during the '68 wheat havest. Then I was invited into the Jelinek home while on leave for more Chicken & Noodles made with love. She was a wonderfuI Lady who will be deeply missed and I know it is a great loss for the family.

She's Gone Home
The light went out in her eyes
unheard were her peaceful sighs
as her spirit began to blur
God's Angels came for her
They gently took her home
and as she left this earthly loam
she walked and talked again
and smiled with an amazing grin
Sheno longer felt any pain
no worries about worldly gain
With eyes again shining bright
sparkling with God's glowing light
she met St Peter at heaven's gate
to accept her eternal glorious fate
She knew Jesus cast out all sin
and Jesus knew all that was within
This was her new heavenly world
Peace love and happiness unfurled
to wrap her in arms open wide
our Lord forever by her side.
