Mary Jo Felthager, age 89, of Trinidad, was greeted at the gates of heaven by her loving husband Jack Felthager Sr. on September 12, 2021.
Mary Jo was born May 24th, 1932 in Denver, CO. She was the daughter of William A. and Annette (Meyer) McAndries. Mary Jo graduated from the St. Scholastia Academy in Canon City, CO. Mary Jo was married to the love of her life, Jack Felthager Sr. Her passion for life and care for others led her to become a nurse. She was a devote Catholic and was the first one to call when prayers were needed (“ask Nanny to say a prayer for me”). Mary Jo’s healing ministry lives on through her granddaughter Kali Cescolini. She was “Nanny” to everyone who met her and will always be remembered for her love of garage sales, slot machines, cooking for the masses, bingo and great hugs. Mary Jo was the happiest when she was surrounded by her family and loved ones (especially if the Cowboys or the Rockies were playing at the same time).
Mary Jo was preceded in death by parents; William A. and Annette (Meyer) McAndries. Husband, Jack Felthager Sr; brothers, Bob, Bill, Richard and Joe; sisters, Patricia, Theresa and Anette (Mickey).
