Norma "Jeanne" Jean Hutton

Jeanne was born on June 4, 1946, in Hayti, Missouri, to the late Junes and Anna Butler. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Lewis A. Roberts, III, and her grandson, Lewis Ray Freeman.

Jeanne leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory. She is survived by her children, Alisha Roberts, Brian Eidson, and Katisha Simril (Art); her grandchildren, Lindsay Gandy (Michael), Mallori Mitchell (Andrew), Monique Kaufmann, Larissa Freeman, Lewis Freeman, Hunter Eidson, Kayden Eidson, Junes Eidson, and Josalyn Eidson; her great-grandchildren, Josh Gandy, Myla Mitchell, Finley Mitchell, Baker Mitchell, and Josiah Kaufmann; her sister, Joan Nimic (Chuck); and her niece, Julie Nimic.

Jeanne had a generous heart and a special gift for making others feel loved. She was affectionately known as “mom” to many, offering unconditional love, kindness, and support to those fortunate enough to be part of her life. Her love extended to animals as well, especially her beloved pets, including her African Grey, Abby Redtail, and the many other exotic birds who brought color, companionship, and joy to her life over the years.

Music was another lifelong passion for Jeanne. She began taking piano lessons at a young age and later shared that passion by teaching piano to others. Over the years, she also played piano in church, using her musical gifts to serve her faith community. Her talent, patience, and love for music touched many lives and helped inspire that same appreciation in others.

Jeanne also had a way of bringing people together through the simple joys of life, including her famously delicious homemade fudge. She was a dedicated real estate paralegal in Memphis for many years, known for her commitment and hard work. Outside of work, she enjoyed cheering on her favorite teams, holding season tickets to Memphis Tigers and Memphis Grizzlies basketball games.

Above all, Jeanne will be remembered for her loving spirit, her generous heart, and the many lives she touched throughout her lifetime. Her love for family, music, animals, and the people around her created a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
