In the last 21 years she traveled the world and followed the sun with her soulmate Bob. She was a wicked card player, dancer and music lover. She had a passion for life, love and laughter. She was a truly dedicated and loving mother, grandmother and wife. Jeanne’s memory will be “Always and Forever” in our hearts.
