Jeanine Stuve, Ph.D. was born October 31, 1930, in Azle, Texas. Jeanine went on to her eternal home on Friday, August 7, 2020, in Brenham, Washington Co., Texas. Jeanine was a kind and generous person; a brilliant thinker, educator, and family person. She was known for her friendly smile toward everyone she met, and her optimistic attitude toward life. Jeanine received a Diploma from Azle High School; then completed her Ph.D. at Texas A&M University, in Commerce, Texas.
She taught school in Azle, then moved on to Weatherford College, where she received the Distinguished Alumni Award last year. Many of her former students have expressed their admiration for her and her kindness toward them. Jeanine loved everything about teaching and was an insatiable reader. Jeanine was born to Fred Bryan Admire (1906-1969), of Azle, Texas, and Annie Alleene Pierce (1910-1997) of Reno, Texas. They were in charge of the Transportation Department for Azle Schools for many years. Besides teaching at a young age, Jeanine even drove buses to earn money for her advanced education degrees.
Jeanine was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Billy Bob Irby, and her three children, Priscilla Jeanie Irby (1948-1970), Billy Bob Irby, Jr. (1952-1999), and John David Irby (1954-1960); brothers, Billy Fred Admire and Jimmy Pierce Admire.
She is survived by her sister-in-law, Naomi (Tootsie) Jack, and her two nieces, Eleanor Louise Admire and Pamela Sue Admire; one great-niece, Tiffany Wright, and a close cousin, Nancy Nation Jay, among other distant cousins.
Jeanine (known as "Tiny" by her close friends and family) was always trying to please others and outdo herself. She made many other people's lives a lot better, although the process often exhausted her. She loved it! She was fiercely independent and was determined to live her life to the fullest as long as possible. Jeanine was not a perfectionist, but she did love beautiful clothing and shoes, and did not mind spending a little more for something special that would enhance her striking black hair. Her big, loud, salt-of-the-earth extended Admire family while growing up was, no doubt, a great contributor to her forward-looking, independent streak as she matured. The Admires were a 'smother-you-with-love' sort of a family and sang their hearts out at their family gatherings. She never missed a single moment of them. She loved telling the story of how she and her brothers, while attending the church 'dinner on the grounds,' would race headlong to sample Aunt Haydn Admire's turkey with dressing and pies. She frequently requested that I make them for her during the past ten years. It probably did not come up to the standards of my grandmother's cooking, but she was gracious enough to say that it did. She always said that she was competent in many things, but not cooking. After Jeanine's first husband passed away, she married Lee Stuve, of Brenham, who passed away in 2009, after a very long illness. Jeanine was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for a number of years. She enjoyed constantly learning more about all of her Patriots' lives and their sacrifices for freedom and independence. There are probably many more fun and interesting stories from her students and friends. She is probably already enjoying playing games with her family, friends, and Patriots, and planning her next big adventure. We will miss her bright, warm smile. May you always rest in the arms of your Savior and loved ones.
