Jean Schuyler, a lifelong San Antonio resident, passed away on December 22 at age 96. She was born in the Medical and Surgical Hospital on March 26, 1928. Jean was an attendee since age 4 of Central Christian Church, an institution that was the center of her life. Jean served as a deacon and an elder for the church and was a member until her death. Active in the Daughters of the American Revolution and Beta Sigma Phi sorority for more than 50 years, she belonged also to Yellow Ribbon Antique Club. An avid traveler, Jean visited 29 different countries and 46 of the 50 states, almost all of them with her late husband, Ray. She had particular affection for Australia, the home of close friends she made during her travels. A highlight of Jean’s life was renewing her vows at Central Christian Church for her 50th wedding anniversary, when she and Ray walked down the aisle followed by her daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. Jean was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, Ray Schuyler; her parents, Addison and Mary Harvey; her sister, Mary Louise Billingsley; and her brothers James, William, and Ray Harvey. Jean is survived by daughter Carol Gannaway and her husband, Geoff Gannaway, of Hunt; daughter Barbara Algeo and her husband, John Algeo, of San Antonio; grandson Geoffrey Gannaway and his wife, Emily, of Houston; grandson Atticus Gannaway of New York; grandson Scott Algeo and his wife, Heidi, of Denver; granddaughter Lindsay Moore and her husband, Michael Moore, of Amarillo; grandson Timothy Algeo and his wife, Heather, of The Woodlands; great-grandchildren Azeale and Avey Gannaway, Cali and Lexi Algeo, Berkley and Wrigley Moore, and Travis and Hailey Algeo; and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Vio, Val, and George Pop for their incredible care for Jean over the past two years; they truly became part of the family. A special thank you also to Marla Lackey and Brenda Flores of Devoted Care Hospice. A memorial service will be held at Central Christian Church, 720 N. Main Ave., on January 11 at 10:30 a.m. Remembrances can be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association.
