  Heistand, Jean E. Brandt    
   
   
  Jean E. Brandt Heistand MANHEIM Jean E. Brandt Heistand, 83, entered into 
  eternal rest on Monday, January 4, 2010, at the Penn State Hershey Medical 
  Center. She was a graduate of Milton Hershey High School, class of 1945, and 
  enjoyed telling family and friends that Milton S. Hershey spoke at her 
  graduation. She was also a graduate of Central Penn Business College. She 
  worked as a private stenographer for the CPAs at Main & Company, Harrisburg, 
  and as a bookkeeper in her husband's business. Jean was a life time member of 
  the United Church of Christ. She first attended at the Evangelical and Reformed 
  Salem Church in Campbelltown, and the remaining years of her life were spent at 
  Christ Church, U.C.C. Elizabethtown. Jean was born at home in Campbelltown to 
  the late Ethel and Martin Brandt. She was the widow of Glenn M. Heistand, a 
  decorated WWII veteran, who passed away 17 years ago after 42 years of 
  marriage. She met her husband at the Campbelltown Volunteer Fire Company 
  Carnival. She often spoke of their first date when he came to court her in his 
  bright red convertible. Jean was preceded in death by her brother, Martin 
  Brandt, Jr. She is survived by her son, Stephen G. Heistand; her daughter, 
  Glenda J. Seesholtz and her husband, Victor; her brother, Roger M. Brandt and 
  his wife, Patricia of Palmyra; six grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. 
  She loved the Lord Jesus Christ and her family, especially her grandchildren 
  and greatgrandchildren. One of the highlights of her life was when her 
  granddaughter became the first doctor in the family, graduating from Penn State 
  College of Medicine in Hershey. Jean was a member of the Milton Grove 
  Sportsmen's Club and volunteered at Mastersonville Fire Co. for apple dumpling 
  festivals. She also belonged to the Derry Twp. Historical Society. She loved 
  playing the piano and organ as she waited for her husband to come home for 
  supper from the Heistand Brothers Mill. She loved being a room mother at 
  Mastersonville Elementary School. She was always busy crocheting afghans to 
  give to her many friends. She enjoyed family trips to Wildwood, N.J., every 
  summer and often talked about her international trips with her husband, Glenn. 
  She loved reading her Bible and enjoyed the visits with the Masonic daily 
  living center's pastor. Jean was an avid Penn State fan and she never forgot 
  meeting Joe Paterno. She was a beloved fan of the Manheim Central football 
  team, on which her grandson played, and the Manheim Central Band where her 
  grandchildren attended. Most of all, Jean was a devoted Christian, wife, 
  mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who will be deeply missed by all who 
  knew and loved her. Funeral services are private at the convenience of the 
  family. Arrangements are being handled by Jorich Funeral Home, Middletown. 
  Contributions may be made in Jean's name to the Campbelltown Volunteer Fire 
  Company, P.O. Box 64, Campbelltown, PA 170100064; or the Manheim Central 
  Football Team, c/o Mike Williams, 400 Adele Ave., Manheim, PA 17545. The family 
  wishes to express their most heartfelt gratitude for all your thoughts and 
  prayers during this most difficult time.
