So sorry to hear of Jeannene’ passing. She was always one of the sweetest people I have ever known. Always a kind word and a smile. She always was nice when I was a kid and then when I had kids of my own she always treated them like they were grandchildren. I always think of how loving she was to animals as well. Please accept my deepest sympathy to all her family...

My sympathy to Jerry, Linda and their families. Jean and Louie were the BEST possible neighbors and friends a person could ask for. Any time i needed something they were there to help or give me the tools to do myself. Jean's holiday cookies were legendary in my family!!! My dogs loved her too!! She was a special person, whom I'll cherish forever. Jeanne Jansen

I really enjoyed working with Jeannene. Once I figured out she was a Munie and her connection to St. Mary's, we reminisced about the credit union, St. Mary's, her brother Lee and my dad John.

Jerry and Linda, Bev and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to both of you and the entire family. Jean was a special lady and she will be dearly missed by anyone that she came in contact with. I really appreciate that she would take vegetables from her garden over to my mother and sit and visit for awhile. I believe she was probably the most genuine down to earth person I may have ever met. She was just a wonderful person with a heart of gold. Sending prayers your way.
