Anne Jendryk Kette | Osteopathic doctor, 92

Anne Jendryk Kette, 92, of Lansdowne, an osteopathic physician, died of small bowel obstruction on Wednesday, April 14, at Vitas Hospice, Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, Darby.

Born in Germantown, she graduated from Cheltenham High School in 1934, and earned her bachelor's from what is now Arcadia University in 1938 and her doctorate from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1943.

Her son, Paul K. Jendryk, said she was the only woman in her class. She set up practice with her husband, Albert C. Kette, Jr., also an osteopathic physician, until 1947. After raising a family and divorcing, she practiced as Anne Jendryk from 1965 until her retirement in 1985.

Dr. Jendryk earned a pilot's license and flew out of Wings Field in Blue Bell. Her daughter, Carol Ann, said her mother qualified in 1958 as another sort of pilot, as a member of the Coast Guard power squadron on the Delaware River.

Her daughter said that Dr. Jendryk also won several rifle marksmanship medals as a member of the National Rifle Association.

Growing up in Jenkintown, Dr. Jendryk perfected her marksmanship, her daughter said, when she "used to . . . lay down behind the chicken coop . . . and practice on crows and squirrels."

Dr. Jendryk was a member of the American Osteopathic Association and the advisory council of the Friendship Circle Senior Center in Darby.

Besides her son and daughter, Dr. Jendryk is survived by a sister. Her former husband died in 1981.

Services were private.
