E. Jean Herrman November 2, 1929 – April 27, 2015 E. Jean Herrman, 85, peacefully passed away in her sleep on April 27, 2015 at St. Thomas More Hospital while recovering from a fall from the previous day. She was born in Omaha, Nebraska on November 2, 1929 to Anthony and Cecelia Fleissner and received her elementary and secondary education there. As a child, Jean suffered from polio but, with the attentive care of her mother, was able to avoid many of the more serious consequences of the disease. As an adult, however, she developed post-polio syndrome which increasingly weakened her legs and impaired her balance. In the meantime, Jean earned a Bachelor degree in Nursing at the Denver School of Nursing in Denver, Colorado and later a Master degree in Psychiatric Nursing at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. After teaching for several years at The Menninger (Psychiatric) Clinic in Topeka, Kansas she met the widower Dr. Ralph Herrman, D.D.S., of Seneca, Kansas. Ralph and Jean were married in November of 1969, and Jean immediately became the mother of Ralph’s eight children which included two sets of twins.
