Jeanne enjoyed visiting her children, playing with grandchildren, trips to the bingo, the hair salon, shopping, in-store and through catalogs. Jeanne loved to shop! She looked forward to Sunday dinners with her sister Margie and their weekly scrabble games. She always looked forward to family gatherings and was usually the first to arrive and last to leave. Holidays with family, dinner dates with her siblings, Margie, George and Richard were among her most favorite times.
Her infectious laughter and smile brought happiness to anyone she has ever met. She was truly loved by all.
Born on Christmas Eve, Jeanne will forever be “Our Christmas Angel.â€
A private prayer service will be held for Jeanne, chapel side, at The Veterans’ Memorial Cemetery, where she will be laid to eternal rest.
