Jeanne spent the majority of her years in the Saginaw/Fort Worth area. She spent her final days at The Oaks Assisted Living in Granbury, TX where she was loved by many of the staff.
Jeanne was an avid lover of her family, friends and animals. She was often given the responsibility of being the welcoming committee at the two assisted livings she resided in. She loved the staff at her home and was always excited to see them when they came in to work. She and Beka helped rescue many a kitty cats over the years and she adored all the rescue dogs Beka saved, rehomed and adopted in her later years. One of her favorite things was to have several of Beka's little dogs in her lap and have a picture taken of her.
