Obituary

Jeannie Dietschy, 61, of Grapevine, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family, after bravely fighting brain cancer with grace and strength.

She was born in Weatherford, Texas, on July 12, 1963, to Bill and Nancy Jordan, whom she loved deeply and dearly. Jeannie graduated from Weatherford High School, went on to earn her graduate degree from Texas Tech University, and later completed her master’s degree at TCU.

On March 17, 1990, she married Dan Dietschy. Together they built a beautiful life centered around faith, family, and laughter. Jeannie had a successful and respected career as a business manager at Microsoft, where she was deeply admired by her colleagues for her kindness, sharp thinking, and steady presence. But her most cherished role by far was being a mom to her two children, Sara Dietschy and John Dietschy. She poured her heart into raising them and often said it was her greatest calling. Becoming “Granny D” to her granddaughter Daisy Hill brought her immeasurable joy. She spent the final year of her life soaking up every moment with Daisy — a gift to them both.

Jeannie was very involved in her local church as well as a devoted member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF), where she deepened her faith and formed lifelong friendships. She brought warmth, grace, and intentional love into every space she entered — always with a listening ear, a perfectly timed laugh, or a thoughtful gesture. She made everyone feel like the most important person in the room.

She is survived by her husband Dan, her children Sara and John, her granddaughter Daisy, her brother Judd Jordan, her sister Judy Jordan and parents Bill and Nancy Jordan. She also leaves behind extended family, dear friends, and a legacy of love that will live on through the many lives she touched.

A visitation will be held at 1:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, May 14 at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home in Colleyville, Texas.

Jeannie was truly one of the kindest and most caring souls I’ve had the privilege to know. Her warmth could light up any room, and her gentle spirit left a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to cross their path. Whether through a comforting word, a thoughtful gesture, or simply the quiet strength she carried through life, she showed us what it meant to be deeply compassionate and genuinely sweet. Wishing the Dietschy Family comfort, peace, and the strength to carry forward Jeannie's legacy of love and gentleness. God Bless.
With all my sympathy,
Francise Chang
(part of her Microsoft Global Delivery Family)

My heart is heavy, but my soul is soaring and celebrating for you. Oh what a legacy you have left here on earth! Well done faithful servant of our Lord, well done!

When our circumstances today threaten to dim our hope for tomorrow, let’s roam through our memories and gather glimpses of God’s goodness, recollections of His grace.

Dear God, where my vision is warped, restore it; where my hope is diminished, increase it. Help me recognize Your goodness in my past and anticipate Your faithfulness in my future. As she said “GOD is Good”

Though our time working together was brief, the impact you left on me was lasting. Your kindness, energy, and presence made a difference, and I will truly miss you. When I heard the news, I teared up—because the world has lost someone special. Rest in peace, and thank you for the moments we shared. You are obviously needed elsewhere to continue your work. The world will be at a loss without your presence.

I met you as Mrs D 25 years ago. Even as I’ve grown into an adult, I’ll always know you that way. You were such a treasure to be around. We are all very blessed to have had you in our lives. I’m honored that you made it to my wedding in December when I know you weren’t feeling your best. You will be missed by innumerable souls that you touched here.

Jeannie and I partnered together as part of our work in CSA GD. We quickly formed a bond and friendship that was invaluable. To creating fun names/memes for each other. She was pretty Barbie and I was ugly Barbie, not in a bad way but a fun inside joke. I am truly blessed to have known, befriended and learned from Jeannie. Rest In Peace - Candice

I was blessed to have Jeannie as my BSF leader. She was such an easy person to talk to and I loved getting to know her. She had an amazing faith and spoke often of her love for her family. I’m praying for the family for this great loss and pray you’re comforted that she is receiving her reward of an eternal life in heaven with our Savior.

If kindness and humility could take human form, one of them would surely be Jeannie. She was more than just my boss, she was a friend, someone I could speak to openly and honestly. Brilliant and generous, she believed in me when I needed it most, opening doors that didn’t even exist before she created them.

She often spoke with deep affection about her family, and when Daisy arrived, the joy in her voice echoed across the Atlantic during our Teams calls. Her support and encouragement were instrumental in helping me rebuild my confidence. For that, I will always be grateful, to her, and to her family, for sharing her time and light with us at work.

My deepest condolences to her loved ones, and my everlasting appreciation for the tremendous person that was Jeannie Dietschy.

Thank you, God, for gifting us with Jeannie. We got to know each other through BSF, but she became a dear friend over time. When I received a cancer diagnosis, it was Jeannie who went into “worker bee” mode and gave me next steps and resources. In the two visits we had after her surgery, we shared dreams for our children and grandchildren, the confidence of eternity with Jesus and even a few laughs.
My prayers are with all of you in the coming days.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Jeannie as someone more than “My Friend John’s Mom” this last year while nannying Daisy. Even though I only spent a handful of hours a week at the Dietschy house, these last few months we frequently got to talk about life and the gospel. Everything she did exemplified The Lord. Even during times I’m sure she was hurting, she sat with Daisy and I, wanting to play and be involved. It was beautiful to see how she prioritized family, faith and friends over herself. Her kindness to me during an obviously tumultuous time in her life did not go unnoticed, and I am grateful to have known her. I’ll continue to be inspired by her love of Christ, her continuous grace, and the abundance of kindness she showed everyone around her. Praying her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

Jeannie was like no other human being I’ve ever known. She was smart and witty. Her quick come backs never ceased to amaze me. But what captured my heart about Jeannie was how giving and selfless she was. Everyone else came before her, especially her beloved Dan, John and Sarah. I agree with everything her best friends have said about her. You guys knew her well. Every time Jeannie helped me clean and pick up after a party she would say, I’m not sure where I put it, but I’m sure you’ll find it eventually. Now, every time I misplace something, I think of Jeannie telling me that I will eventually find it! Jeannie and I kept in touch after I departed the Jordan/Adams clan. We agreed that 30 years of loving each other don’t simply go away. Jeannie touched my life in so many beautiful ways. Heaven acquired a gem, and although my heart breaks now, I will see her in heaven some day! I love you sweet friend.

I could go on and on about all the fun and laughter we shared together throughout our lives, or about the many, many times we both cried on each other’s shoulders as we navigated life’s challenges, or the faith we both shared and called upon to lift each other up. But today, what is pressing on my mind the most is thinking about what an incredible mother Jeannie was. We talked about raising kids together often and I feel I am qualified to speak about Jeannie’s mother’s heart. She loved her children more than life itself. When some might take a cookie cutter approach to parenting, Jeannie specialized in tailoring her parenting for the uniqueness of each child. If one of her children was struggling, she would read books, seek wise counsel and of course pray, in order to take the best possible approach for helping them through it. All you have to do is spend 5 minutes talking with either Sara or John to know that it worked! They have both grown up to be amazing adults. As our children grow, we often worry about the decisions they have to make. And sometimes, we might even disagree with their choices. But Jeannie’s unconditional love and acceptance never waivered and she was always ready to step in and help, no matter what. Come to think of it, that’s also exactly the kind of friend she was. The tools she gave Sara and John have and will continue to serve them well.

Sara and John - your mother adored, admired and loved you so fiercely. And I hope you may be comforted by the fact that in the too short amount of time you had with her, she has equipped you both to be able take on life’s challenges with love, grace, peace and the fortitude that she displayed throughout hers. Happy Mothers Day, Jeannie! You did well!

I am so saddened by Jeannie’s untimely death but also so thankful and comforted that she knew Jesus and is with Him in glory as I speak. I’ve had the privilege of doing her hair for years and all I can say is she touched me deeply. We talked bout our children while they were growing up, mostly good, funny times and hard times as well. Crazy people in the news, our crazy world! And food! Give us a big burger! We always talked bout Jesus and I’m just so blessed by that! And wanting our family to know Jesus! I’ll never forget our precious conversations during our time together and will never be able to repay the blessings she bestowed upon me! I love you sweet Jeannie! Will cherish every moment I had with you!

I first met Jeannie in our church home group. I knew instantly that I wanted us to be friends. We were also in BSF together which was an added bonus. Jeannie is one of those people who exudes warmth. You feel like you can talk to her about anything. When people meet her for the first time, there is no doubt she is filled with the Holy Spirit. You just want to be around her and catch some of that. She loved her family immensely. When Daisy was born, she was over the moon. We even have matching Daisy shoes to celebrate that sweet baby! I am going to miss her so much, but I know that I am going to see her again someday.

This absolutely breaks my heart. Jeannie was my first best friend and we spent more time together than apart, when we were kids.
She was such a beautiful soul. Prayers to the family
