Aunt Jeanne was a loving, caring woman. I remember her fondly. She was always smiling and happy whenever I saw her. Her kindness will always be remembered. One of my earliest memories was of her chastising Uncle Ray because he put my sister and I in a front end loader and raised the bucket, scaring us. Oh Aunt Jeanne lit into him for that. I’m saddened by her passing, but comforted that she’s in heaven now looking over us and protecting us lovingly.
