Jeanne is survived by her husband, Jerry, 4 children, 7 grandchildren, a sister and 2 nephews. Her eldest son, Neil, his wife, Tina and their children Colvin and Wyatt and Wyatt's wife Emma reside in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Upon graduation, Jeanne taught primary school in Clifton Forge, Virginia then Alloway Township in New Jersey, before having children. Becoming a full-time mother, she was busy raising the 4 children. Later she became "Mimi" to her 7 grandchildren.

Jeanne enjoyed playing duplicate bridge and achieved the rank of Ruby Life Master.

A world traveler, Jeanne ventured to 117 countries on 6 continents.

There will not be a public service for Jeanne; instead, there will be a private family service. The family is planning a Celebration of Life in the spring.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions can be made to either the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland, or the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Annapolis.
