Jeanne was a selfless, caring person and an amazing mother to her children. Caring for family was her passion in life.

She retired from USD 434 in 2019 where she had worked for many years and touched the lives of many young people.

Unfortunately, cancer struck her only 6 months after her retirement. She fought a brave battle and had a short time in remission when it looked like she would win. However, it returned and took her from us. We will forever cherish the memories we have of her.
