Jeanne was one of a kind. I remember her making rounds every evening at WSH, and always monitoring the dining room line :-). She gave me a white kitten, which she always inquired about. The cat may have been what sold my wife to marry me!
Jeanne was an VFW auxiliary icon…she will be sadly missed by many….Many condolences to her family. Rest in peace sweet lady!
Sorry to hear of your passing wish I had the chance to visit you I always enjoyed when you were working
Have missed Jeanne since she went into the Rouse. Spent many hours with her at Auxiliary functions. She was a very great lady.
Jeanne will be missed by many, one of them will be me. We always tried to find time to sit and talk and the Lutheran church, auxiliary stuff and just life in general. She was a great lady.
I have missed this wonderful Auxiliary sister since she went into the Rouse and stopped attending events. She was my sister and mentor.
Rest peacefully Jeanne. What a wealth of knowledge you bestowed upon us with your mentoring. Condolences to her family from District 19 VFWA. God bless Jeanne, fly high and see you on the other side.
