They were married 55 years when Bernard (Bernie) went on to be with the Lord on March 22, 2013.

She was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, both the WV and Ohio chapters where she made lifelong friends.

Jeananne was the matriarch to her large family who dearly loved her, and she loved spending time with them reminiscing and giving life advice.

Jeananne loved the Lord and was a member of Infinite Church where she attended regularly.

There will be a celebration of life ceremony at a later date for both Jeananne and Bernie.
