and her passionate memories of her horses while growing up on the
family farm in rural Washington county. She graduated from Potosi
High School and soon after began her teaching career at the age of
seventeen. She received her teaching degree from Southeast
Missouri State University. After moving to Creve Coeur, she became
a first grade teacher in the Parkway School District and later in Pattonville, at Rose Acres Elementary.

Jeanne also enjoyed a career in real estate for many years with
Gundaker in Creve Coeur. She was always an avid reader and in her
later years Jeanne enjoyed genealogy. She had a lifelong love for animals and dearly loved her pets.

Most of all Jeanne was devoted to her family, and a kind and
compassionate soul with an incredible passion for life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
