Jeanne Wynn Sneed

Jeanne was a beloved mother, wife, sister, friend, mentor, aunt, esteemed colleague, and daughter—a resilient spirit always willing to lend a helping hand. She radiated unwavering strength and warmth.

Jeanne was born in Chicago Heights, IL on July 23rd, 1968 to Pat and Mary Wynn (Foley). Jeanne was a Midwestern girl, growing up in Appleton, Wisconsin. She graduated from St. Norbert College in Wisconsin and started her career in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jeanne married Sean Sneed and shared 28 wonderful years of marriage. They raised their children, Allison and Connor, in Grayslake, Illinois. Jeanne was a devoted mother and an active volunteer for her children’s school and sports activities.

Her family extended beyond her immediate household, and her love and loyalty will be deeply missed by all. Jeanne was always genuine. Those who knew her will fondly remember heartfelt talks, encouraging words, brilliant ideas, impeccable planning, and hilarious adventures she either initiated or encouraged. She was the queen of cute denim dresses, witty one-liners, and the heart of any team she was on. She was also a devoted Packers fan. Jeanne left this world too soon, but her spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of her family and friends.

As a successful pharmaceutical sales representative, Jeanne built deep friendships with her colleagues and clients. Aiding in the health of others was a great source of inspiration. Jeanne carried this through to her personal life as she assisted friends and family in navigating health concerns.

She is survived by her husband, Sean and her two children Allison and Connor. Her parents Pat and Mary, her siblings, Meg Karakekes, Betsy Wynn, Mary Kay Pond, Pat Wynn, Cathleen Wynn, Maureen Rushing and many loving nieces and nephews.
