My dear Nama, you were always the greatest planner. I could tell you one thing and before you knew much more you would plan out the whole situation and then tell me it was going to a good thing. I am going to miss sitting with you as you watched your favorite shows and we just talked and talked. I am going to miss having you there when i just needed someone to talke to. But you planned this out to, although you never could have planned out how much we will miss you. I miss you sooo much. But i promise together we will be okay. We will make it though but really we will never stop missing you.

You are the greatest grandma a girl could ask for. You have taught me so much, you have supported me and shown me you love me. I love you with all my heart

My memories are of a lifetime friendship with my bestie! We were childhood friends and then came our teenage years. We spent sleepovers at each other’s houses, sharing our innermost secrets about everything! We laughed and we cried, celebrated our successes and helped each other during our failures. I was her Maid of Honor at she and Ted’s wedding and then she was off to Arizona! I got together with her a summer ago when we were both visiting Freeport. We kept in touch often over the years even though we were miles apart. My favorite recent memory was of us singing “Johnny Rebecca” with Chuck and Esther before Esther passed. She wasn’t able to speak much but piped right in on most of the song! I too was a recipient of Jeanne’s handiwork. I asked her to make a blanket for my first great grandchild and she came up with the most original and darling blanket ever. I will treasure all of the memories forever of this great woman who I had the privilege to know and love!

Jeannie,  We were sisters by the same dad but I never really got to grow up with you. We have come together later in life and find we  had a lot in common. Always cherished your visits back home so I could see you once again. I will miss you and your crocheted things you sent for my family.  

Prayers for peace and comfort for your family. Your Mom was one of my first friends when we moved into the neighborhood over 40 years ago. She epitomized giving and she will be deeply missed. I know that her presence will continue to be with her family and through you her love and generosity will continue. I'm glad I got to see her one last time ... <3

My dear sister, you will be missed so very much.   Your constant love over the years has filled my heart with warmth.  Leaving us is making a vast hole in my heart that will never heal.   Over all the miles our phone calls helped bridge the gap.   You were always there for Mom And Dad sending  gifts and cards so very often.    You’re beautiful light has gone out, but I will always cherish all the moments we spent together. I love you so very much. 

She was the best grandma Jeannie from Anthony i love you.

Mom, words cannot express how I feel right now. You are missed and loved. Thank you for all that you did for me especially teaching me to crochet. I am going to miss spending Sunday night's watch our drama shows on TLC together as we crochet our hearts away. My beautiful mom you will always be in my heart. You were an amazing person, mom, and friend to me. May you rest in peace now with no more pain. I love you my beautiful mom.

The first time I met you was At Cody and I’s High School Graduation. That day you told me I was gonna marry your grandson. I was slightly shocked, but boy were you right! Grandma you have been a light I needed an extra ear to listen when I had an issue, and always welcoming when I felt like no one was on our side. You supported us and loved us through every choice we made and lite up with every new Great Grand baby we brought into this world. I’m so lucky I got the chance to have you in my life. But I am so Thankful God blesses my kids with an Extraordinary amazing Great Grandma like you! There isn’t a day that they don’t say how amazing you are and how lucky they are to have you. We will truly miss you so! The only regret I have is not showing you the blanket I ordered you of all the great grand babies names on it. But now you have it with you and them with you forever more. We love you grandma Rest In Peace. 

Jeannie was my adopted sister whom I met through my best friend, her sister, Teresa over 30 years ago.  I always looked forward to her visits to Illinois and vacationing with our families.  She was an amazing crafter and I still proudly display the beautiful blankets she made me.  I'll never forget her talking about going into card stores and asking for their old envelopes so she could use them for a project.  I mean, who thinks of things like that?  A big light has gone out but her family can feel proud that she touched so many lives in so many giving ways. 

I met Jeannie at the Gilbert Senior Center a couple years ago.  I will never forget her smile and her sense of humor.  I am going to miss her so much.  Rest in heavenly peace, my friend.  We will forever hold you in our hearts.  💜

One of my earliest memories of you Mom was when the Mutual had a progressive dinner and 1 stop was at your house. You always have been a giving person who made it a point to do whatever you could to make everyone feel loved. I feel very fortunate that you passed that love for others on to Lacey. She is the best part of my life and we have you to thank for that. I will miss so many things now that you have gone home. Most of all your smile and the way you say "Wash"  I love you and will cherish our moments we spent together. You are the best Mother in Law a guy could ask for. I will see you when I get there. 

She was the greatest grandma in the world and she knows how to cheer me up 💜💙💚💛😭😍💙💜💚💛😘💜💙💚💛💛💚💙💜

I was blessed to have been Jeannine's visiting teacher with my companion Sis. JoAnna Chavez for a few years and that's where I learned to love and appreciate her and her family. We always stayed way past our allotted time to visit,  laugh and share concerns. I had her daughter Aprile in my group of girls at our church's girls camp for several years. I saw first-hand how much Jeannine loved her family and was always there for them. I also served under her as the Relief Society's luncheon chairman and it was her great ideas that made our luncheons a huge success.   It is with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to such a woman. She will be missed terribly but I rejoice in the reunion she is having with her beloved Ted on the other side of the veil.

My Sweet Mommy I’m sure going to miss you. My heart is broken into a million pieces my life will never be the same. I’ll be so lost without you . You were the best Mother in the world I’ll forever be grateful for what you have taught me everyday of my life. I love you mom 

Jeannie and I became friends through the Needleweilders at the Pyle Center.  Not only was she a fantastic  knitter  but she brought in the most delicious snacks.  I thank her for all the ideas she shared with me.  She will be missed.

What a most compassionate person, so loving. giving and Kind!  Learned so much from her example, truly one of God's angels here on earth. A hard loss for those acquainted with her, great Jubilation   for those meeting her in her Heavenly home!  Showed love, was muched loved what an example of being a much loved and loving person,  thanks for being a part of my life!


Jeannine had huge heart.  She always made me feel at home whenever I was at the house.  I don’t think I ever called her by her first name she was always mom.  She treated everyone equally , she loved unconditionally.  My favorite memory was the holidays and how she loved to bake and would have people over to bake .  I could never bake but I loved trying .  I still have my slippers she knitted me whenI was in rehab ❤️ I will cherish them forever . RIP mom , I know you are smiling down on us , with a knitting needle in one hand and a baking recipe in the other ❤️🙏🏻.

Jeanne was my first friend that I met when I moved to Gilbert. We hit it off first thing. She was a great lady. Will never forget our laughter and her caring for others. I will miss her in my life. ❤️❤️

I will always remember what a caring and giving person Jeanne was. We met at a knitting/crochet group and became wonderful friends.  She was always doing for others, and gave of her time and her incredible talents, she could do anything creative and gave from the heart. I  will miss her so much and am glad that she is finally out of pain but those of us who loved her will grieve the loss of this beautiful soul.

We will always remember our shared friendship and the example you set for service to others and our Heavenly Father.

You will always be so loved and missed. We will remember your beautiful smile until we meet again.  XOXO The Madigans
