Jean Kobek

Jean G. Kobek of Conyers, GA, aged 73, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 18, 2023, surrounded by her immediate family. As a daughter, wife, and mother of ordained Southern Baptist ministers, she served the Lord with a joyful heart, cheerful smile, and gentle spirit. In addition to being a pastor's wife for over 20 years in Indiana, Kentucky, and Georgia, she served the Lord joyfully working with children and youth. She loved music and used her God-given talent as a beautiful soprano vocalist to contribute as a faithful choir member in various churches for over 60 years bringing glory to God. With her servant's heart, she was always willing to bring a message through music to enhance worship through solos, duos, and family-led quartets. As a member of Zion Baptist Church since 2019, she served on the Bereavement ministry team and enjoyed participating in the Jubilee Choir before her declining health prevented her from continuing her service. She is best known by others for how she loved them - generously, graciously, and warmly. She sowed seeds of kindness everywhere she went and reaped a harvest full of admiration, respect, and love. Although initially educated as a beautician, she transitioned to the healthcare industry and eventually retired from Emory Healthcare after 25 years of service. She is survived by her husband, Anthony Nicholas 'Nick' Kobek, and her two children: Tanya Renee and Troy Anthony, as well as her younger brother, Alan W. Collings (Erica). She is preceded in death by her mother and father, Rev. and Mrs. Lyndon W. Collings; twin sister, Dean K. Reagin, and older brother, David Lyndon Collings. Visitation will be held at Scot Ward Funeral Home on Wednesday, March 22 from 6:00-8:00 pm and at Zion Baptist Church on Thursday, March 23, starting at 10:00 am. The funeral service celebrating Jean's life will follow at Zion Baptist in Covington, GA at 11:00 am. She will be interred the following day on March 24 at 1:30pm at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, GA. Condolences may be submitted on-line at www.scotward.com.
