I went to elementary n high school w Jeanne.. I knew her many of years... Class of 1968 South Lyon mich. We lost another Lion.,..
My Bean… my copy & paste. In many ways you and I were the same person. Feisty personalities, persistent, always, fiercely loving. Mom always called me Jeanne Jr. growing up. I wanted to do everything you did when I was little. I would beg you to wake me up to watch QVC at 2 am for Lee Middleton doll sales. We would have coffee parties instead of tea parties. You tried and tried to teach me to bake. It didn’t stick. You tried and tried to teach me to garden. Also didn’t stick. Everett however loves to bake and dig in the dirt. Also, jelly beans. You were the wildest, craziest, most unhinged, and loving woman I ever knew. I miss you so much. Love you forever and always.
My heart is absolutely crushed. I met her while working at Mac Val’s and was a beacon of joy every single day. I had the pleasure of her making my wedding cake which people still talk about to this day. This is an extremely sad occasion, and she will truly be missed.
The fondest memory is and always will be sitting around the table pot of coffee burning and just joking laughing and telling stories long into the night and the warm hug you would always get as you left and told you'd better come back soon love you as she would always say aunt Jeanie will be missed more than she will ever know but now she gets to tend her garden with her mom and dad till the end of time.
