Jeanne was an avid reader and historian who enjoyed traveling all over the world discovering new places and exploring old ones. She loved to share her travels with her grandchildren; oftentimes taking them with her. She inspired her children and grandchildren with a legacy of continuing education, and to have a sense of adventure. She appreciated the wonders of the natural world and derived great pleasure from travel camping, gardening and bird watching. Equally she delighted in going to the theatre; plays, concerts and Broadway musicals. In her later years she was always glad to play Trivia or a game of Scrabble; and she would never miss an episode of Jeopardy.
