She loved Nelson for the beauty of the landscape and the great fishing. Jeanne moved to Fruitvale in 1988 where she played bridge and crocheted quilts for her family.

She passed away peacefully at Rosewood Village.

The family would like to thank the Rosewood staff for their thoughtful and wonderful care as well as the Hospice Society and Alternatives Funeral Services.
