Jean Elisabeth Koehlinger (Martens)

Jean Elisabeth Koehlinger (Martens), 66, of Findlay, OH passed into glory to be in the presence of her Savior on June 25, 2026.  Jean was born on February 17, 1960, in Indiana.  At the age of 15, she was lovingly adopted into her “Forever Family” by George and Carolyn Martens. 

In the years following, 8 other children would join the family.  Jean was always bubbling with joy and was a wonderful “oldest sister” to her younger siblings.  Her sudden passing is heartbreaking to her family and she will be missed.  They are comforted knowing that, today, Jean is in Heaven, exactly where Jesus said He would go to prepare a place for those who trust in Him.  She trusted with “childlike faith” as Jean asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior.

Jean is preceded in death by her brother Daniel (1995) and loving mother, Carolyn (1998). 

Jean loved her church family at Calvary Baptist in Findlay.  She was a friend to everyone.  Her purse was always full of treats to share along with her smile and giggle.  That purse also had treats for her animal friends who were a big part of her life. 

We would like to invite you to a service honoring Jean on Saturday, July 11th, 2026, at 10 a.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, 2000 Broad Ave Findlay, Ohio.  Directly following will be a graveside internment at Powell Cemetery, 12855 State Route 698.  You are then invited to join us for a meal and a time of fellowship at Calvary Baptist Church.

Visitation Friday July 10th from 3 - 6 at the Hanneman Funeral Home 201 Osborn Avenue in Findlay, OH.
