Jenée Wittrig

— Jenée Alysse Wittrig, 59, of Albany, Ore., joined her Heavenly family July 12, 2020, after battling cancer.

Jenée was born on Oct. 4, 1960, in Newton, Mass., to Joseph Benedict Bibbo and Marianna (Arcuri) Bibbo. After graduating high school, she enjoyed the adventure of a lifetime, driving across country— in a time before cellphones— with her older sister, settling on the West Coast. She basked in the beauty of California, then journeyed north where she found love, had a family and found her life’s calling in her service to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus. She spent many hours expressing her love of The Lord in song (which she shared with locals in elder care facilities), Bible study and in being a pen pal to incarcerated people who wanted to learn about the love and passion of Christ.

She is survived by her cherished husband, Tim; their beloved daughter, Alissandra, and her fiancé, José; as well as siblings, Karen Ann Bibbo-Lord, Sheryle Ann Thurlow and Joseph Benedict Bibbo Jr.; and many nephews, nieces and dear friends. She is predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Marianna.
