Mary Jeanette Titzer, 81, of Newburgh, passed away, surrounded by her family, on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at Newburgh Health Care. She was born March 12, 1927 in Boonville. Early in her life, she worked as a telephone operator in Boonville. With her beloved husband, Clem Titzer, they raised four children, Rusty, Paul, Gloria, and Jo, in their home on Slaughter Ave. in Newburgh. They moved to Owensboro, Kentucky around 1961 for Clem's job with the Corp of Engineers at the Owensboro Lock and Dam. She had many friends and for a time worked at Mercy Hospital as a switchboard operator. Later they transferred to Paducah, Kentucky and finally came back to Newburgh in 1980 and eventually settled into retirement. Granny, as she has been affectionately called since 1969, was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She never hesitated to watch over the grandchildren when needed, spoiling them with love and chocolate, lots of chocolate. Jeanette is preceded in death by her husband, Clem Titzer in 2002, her mother, Betty (King) Campbell, and her brother, Charles Tremper. Beloved family members she leaves on earth are two sons, Russell G. Titzer (Pam), and Robert Paul Titzer (Cindy); two daughters, Gloria Ann Titzer, and Elizabeth Joann (Titzer) King (Billy) all of Newburgh; seven grandchildren, Todd R.
