Jeanne Marie O’Leary, age 82, entered eternal rest September 16, 2025. Born December 22, 1942, in Eau Claire, WI, Jeanne lived a life of faith, love, and warmth, guided by her devotion to God and her family. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James A. O’Leary, and her dear son, James O’Leary Jr.
Jeanne is survived by her three cherished children Shawn/Mike O’Leary, Patrick (Jan) O’Leary, and Maureen (Mike) Tuttle; as well as five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; four step-grandchildren; and ten great-step-grandchildren. Her family was her greatest joy, and she poured love into every moment with them.
Known for her passion for Santa Claus and Christmas, Jeanne’s home sparkled with holiday cheer, reflecting her playful and joyful spirit. She was an avid crocheter, weaving love into every stitch of her intricate creations. In her later years, Jeanne’s endearing habit of taking “just ten minutes” to pack before any trip brought smiles to those who knew her best.
May her soul rest in the eternal peace of Christ’s embrace.
