Dr. Jeanine Clare (Siren) Littau, EdD, passed away on January 17 ^th , 2023 in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota at 78 years of age. Jeanine was preceded in death by her husband, Anton "Tony" Littau and her grandson, Kyle Johnson. She was born in South Dakota but spent most of her life in Alaska, in Naknek and Wasilla. Jeanine was passionate about music and reading, loving both to the end. She started the band program in Bristol Bay and was always very proud of the program and the amazing students she had in band, as well as all other classes she taught – from Language Arts and Spanish to elementary grades and nearly everything in between. She never wanted to stop learning, achieving a doctorate and two master's degrees as well as reading and attending writing conferences. She and Tony loved to travel throughout the US and Europe, but only after fishing season was over. Jeanine is survived by her daughter Kelly (Littau) Marsolek, son-in-law Brian Marsolek, grandchildren Lorena and Alex Marsolek and her brother, Don Siren.

Graveside services will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, January 28, 2023 at Mountain View Cemetery in Rapid City, SD.   In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your local library or music program.
