Jeanne is one of those special people that you rarely come across in life. You knew she was special not only by being with her but by watching her children’s actions in life. She passed many of her Great attributes on to her children. While we will miss her I know Heaven anxiously awaited her arrival. You can just imagine how excited Jeanne was when she arrived. She will always be with us in our memories. Dave Pauley

I am so sorry for the lost of your mother, grandmother,great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. What can we say about Jeanne other than she was one of a kind. She would always make me smile when I saw her. Just her gift. I will miss seeing her, but also know she is with the loving family above. Missed and Loved.

It is hard when it seems that I have lost a mother and a best friend. I’m glad that when mom was struggling with her health she shared with me that her priority was to be with the Lord. We will be together forever!
