Jean Marie (Mackey) Schwartz, 77, of Phoenixville, PA, passed away on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, after a brief illness.

Born on December 12, 1948, in Phoenixville, PA, she was the daughter of the late Francis and Dorothy (Detwiler) Mackey.

An active member of her community, Jean was a member of the former Calvary Bible Church, now known as New Story Church. She participated in the Hobby Club, taught Sunday School, and supported the People-to-People Mission.

Her door was always open, and she loved being around younger generations.
