Aunt Jean was a treasured Great Aunt, who had a tremendously loving heart and a gentle spirit. She made a positive impact on our hearts as well as the hearts of her great great nieces. She will always be remembered fondly and greatly missed.

Have cherished Jeanne's friendship for 15 years. Intense card games on Friday nights, Jeanne loved to win and loved her chocolate treats. She leaves a hole in our hearts but praise the Lord for taking her home where she will suffer no more.
