Jeanne spent her life dedicated to her family and supporting her husband in his naval career. She was a model military wife for 40 years and a true American patriot. Although she did work outside the home throughout the years, she always said her greatest achievement was raising her children. She and Spencer enjoyed vacationing with family. Hawaii and cruising were among their favorite vacations.
Family reunions, vacations at the beach and monthly dinner outings with her daughters and granddaughters are all treasured memories she leaves us with.
Jeanne loved life with a passion unmatched. 'Depressed' or 'bored' were not words in her vocabulary. She was so very proud of her family. She took every occasion she could to let each and everyone know how special they were. Her loving and kind ways touched everyone she came in contact with. She will be terribly missed.
