She loved attending Bible Study Fellowship with her daughters for several years. She retired from the Kingsport Press Hawkins County Plant in 1993 after 28 years. She loved to work in her flower garden and enjoyed feeding her birds and chipmunks. She was well known for her hamburger corn pone pie, which is a recipe her daughters now cherish. Jeanne was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and a wonderful friend to many. Her bright, loving, and giving personality will be missed by all those who knew and loved her, until they meet again.

The family would like to give special thanks to all her wonderful caregivers, especially Judy Scalf, Brittany Carroll, and Kristen O'Conner and also to GG's special friend Cassidy.
