Jeanne Audrey Winters died on December 24, almost 88. She was a great mother to Kathy (Bann), Jim, and Sean; loving “GrandJeanne” to Shauna, Noah (Bann), and Giovanna; devoted daughter to Ursula and Albert Fritschle; and lifelong friend to Ruth Heimbuecher (they called each other “Ratface” for reasons long forgotten).
She was our firm moral compass, full of wisdom, and always, always honest; exasperatingly stubborn, but often spot on; curious about all things worldly and extra-worldly, from 17th Century Italian painting (her favorite) to string theory (which she tried to understand); a former cardiac nurse who loved medicine for a time, but eschewed doctors and hospitals always; avid surfer for news (mostly political) on the internet, but still called the computer “that thing”; understood people so well, but was bad at keeping in touch with friends; frugal usually, but extravagant when it mattered; quick to anger, but easy with love and kindness. She was, for us, our North, South, East, and West.
Arrangements are under the direction of H.P. Brandt Funeral Home, Inc., 1032 Perry Hwy. Ross Twp., where condolences may be offered at www.brandtfuneralhome.com
