Loving mother of Maureen Meyers (the late Jeffrey) and John (Paula) Hare. Grandmother of Brad (Lindsey) Meyers and Lauren Meyers (Clayton Murray), Rebecca Hare and Olivia Hare.

Many thanks to the staff at Newcastle Place, where Jeanne was an original resident in Independent Living, followed by Assisted Living, Memory Support and finally Skilled Nursing. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Dirk Steinert for his kindness, support and ever-engaging manner whenever treating Jeanne over the years, and also Horizon Hospice for the invaluable services they provide.
Per Jeanne's wishes, there will be no services. She will be cremated and buried with Emmett at Wood National Cemetery. A memorial "party" will take place at a later date.
