Janine “Jan” Mary Meeh, 70, of Eureka, Missouri, passed away on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
Known lovingly by friends and family as Jan, she was the devoted wife of Robert Meeh and the proud mother of Rob Meeh (Stephanie) and Kristen Strzelecki (TJ). She was a deeply cherished grandmother to Madelyn, Robby, Lucas, Parker, and Logan — her five beloved grandchildren who were truly the light of her life.
To her grandchildren, she was affectionately known as JJ, and she embraced the role with boundless joy. Whether it was hosting sleepovers, going on shopping sprees, or cheering from the sidelines at their sporting events, JJ poured her heart into every moment spent with them.
Jan’s warmth and generosity touched everyone she met. She found her greatest joy in spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Mary and Robert Moegle, and her sister Carol. She is survived by her brother Robert Moegle (Barb), as well as her beloved dog Louie, who never left her side.
A visitation will be held on Monday, July 28th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church, with a funeral Mass immediately following the visitation (5 Forest Knoll Dr., Fenton, MO 63026).
Jan’s legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to family will live on in all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Association appreciated.
I miss her already. Very Special !!
Jan is the best friend a person could ever be blessed with 🙏
I am devastated! Jan was a precious friend! We enjoyed our lunches together! I can’t believe she is gone! Sending prayers and hugs to Bob and the family
Just over seven years ago, Karen and I moved back to the states from overseas, and we happened upon a lot that was next door to Jan and Bob, we had no idea of the gift we were to receive being their neighbor.
Our love for her can’t be overstated. We had the grand privilege of having daily interactions with her and Louie, and we knew that when we opened the garage door that our retriever, Bear, was going to race over to greet her, as she would give that same affection that she afforded to everyone. He was relentless and we gave up trying to restrain him as it was senseless and we knew, and he knew, that Jan would always have a ball for him. See, he loved her, too! As silly as it sounds, these were our most enjoyable moments, we got to visit with Jan, Louie Kristen, Robie and the grandkids.
We witnessed her spending time with family and especially her grandchildren who would visit often and you could tell that down to her soul, that she cherished those moments as did those kiddos.
We will forever miss you Jan and are so grateful for the time we had together.
God Speed to the entire Meeh Family,
Jan was my best friend. Fifty years is a long time. She was my sister/spouse/mom. She called me everyday. She wasn’t a “scheduled ” friend, she was my every single day friend that would pop into my house at any time. Always checking on me, always had my back.
I feel like someone reached in and pulled my heart right out of me.
I miss her So Much already. This is gonna be a very hard journey. I know she’s in heaven. There wasn’t a better person on earth. She was truly a Giver.
Meeh Family – I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Jan. You have my deepest sympathy and you are in my thoughts.
My heart is broken she was the closest I had for a sister I will carry her in my heart forever I loved,love her so much I know she would want me to be strong for her family and Louie I don’t have words to describe the pain of losing her
I too met Jan in our neighborhood when we moved in 4 years ago. It’s hard to just walk past somebody when their playful dog Louie drops his ball at your feet for you to throw. I always looked forward to seeing Jan playing catch with Louie on my walks. I have had a variety of reasons why I couldn’t take those walks for long times the past couple of years, but when I resumed and would see Jan she always sincerely expressed concern that everything was okay with me.
And sadly, as it turns out the day before Jan died was when I last saw her. I’m so glad that I stopped to chat for a bit. We reminisced about the time I got to meet her granddog Jax and Kristen. We each appreciated that what could oftentimes be something that causes a problem can actually result in sharing a great bond, and even provide an opportunity to find humor. And as I said goodbye because I wanted to finish before the heat became so extreme, of course Jan said, “Yes be careful, take care of yourself.”
I walked by her house this morning. My walks will no longer be so fulfilling. But I am so lucky to have known Jan, even if it was just to share some short small talk. You just know how much of a special soul she really is…God bless her.
Aunt Jan was a very loving and caring woman we all miss dearly. We’re all shocked by her sudden passing. Many of us saw her happy and healthily alive just a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes life moves fast and you don’t fully appreciate it until it’s gone.
I had the honor of seeing Jan every 3.5 weeks for years, and in that time she became so much more than just a client — she became someone I truly cherished. She always asked about my kids and my family with such genuine care, and I loved hearing her light up when she talked about her own family, especially her grandkids. Her love for them ran so deep — just like her love for dogs, especially her sweet Louie. She had the kindest heart and the most giving spirit. Jan will be so deeply missed. 💔
