Jeanne Heyman Mannheimer Stolar, died April 22, 2015. Jeanne Stolar was born Jeanne Heyman Mannheimer, November 25, 1919 in Isaqueena, Mississippi a small town near Vicksburg, Mississippi to Julius and Charlotte Mannheimer – one of their five children but the only one surviving infancy. Her mother was from Huntsville, Missouri and her father, a cotton and dry good merchant, was from Trier, Germany. Jeanne moved to St. Louis with her mother to live with several aunts after her father tragically died when 5 years old. Jeanne lived the rest of her life in St. Louis and University City. Graduating from Soldan High School in 1937, she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in 1941. Her professional career involved teaching art to high school students in Kirksville, St. Louis, Normandy, and University City, Missouri as well as a long time faculty member teaching adult education classes. She was an accomplished artist in her own right, exhibiting locally and statewide. While her formal work was in oil and pastels, her cartoons of whomever she encountered were savored by all. She was elected to the Delta Phi Delta honorary art society in 1945 and was a member of the St. Louis Artists Guild. Her work is represented in many homes in St. Louis and elsewhere throughout the United States. Mrs. Stolar was an active member of the Miriam Foundation, actively supporting its work educating children with special needs. Mrs. Stolar had her religious education at Shaare Emeth but joined the rest of the Stolar family as a member of Temple Israel. Mrs. Stolar married Martin Stolar August 11, 1946 who predeceased her in 2007 after a 61-year marriage.
