ADD A MEMORYJune 14, 2012
There's alot I could say about this lady she was like a mother to me. Every summer I would go to Slidell and stay with the Spencer Family my second Family. I am so sorry for the loss of a great mom and grandmother and friend. I wish I would have been able to make it but she knows I was thinking about her. She will always be in my memories.

I thank God for blessing us with Maw-Maw Jeanne. I hope she knew how much she meant to us and our daughters. Not many would jump on board to help take care of new born twins;but she did.
She helped take care of them like they were hers. Maw-maw was there in the kitchen cooking or doing something around the house with the "crew"(Adam,Andrew,Ashley,Melissa,Michelle, Mia and Michala)following behind her. "She lives on", and will always live on in our hearts and in our memories.Much love and many prayers,The Brumfield Family (Cardell,Teresa,Mia,Michala)

Aunt Jeanne brought me 29 years of laughs and love and I miss her but know in my heart that she is in her glory with other love ones that have gone before her.

Jeanne Marie will truly be missed! Her laughter, her love for her family and her great sense of humor was a treasure to behold. It was a joy to spend an hour on the phone with her and caching up on family news, every few months.
I will cherish all those beautiful memories... she will always hold a special place in my heart!
Love,
Suzy & the Kelsey Family

My friendship with Jeanne goes all the way back to the early 1960's ... we attended the same high school. She was in my graduation class. What a wonderful person she was. Jeanne remained in contact with me for several years following graduation. I truly regret that we did not remain in contact. I suppose she became busy with Roy (also in my class) and raising a family. I moved away to Connecticut for several years and when I returned, I was unable to locate my friend. I always knew that Jeanne was a special woman ... but looking at those wonderful photographs reminds me about just how special she really was. I send my heartfelt condolences to her family.

Granny, I don't even know where to begin. You were one of a kind! You always knew how to make me laugh and smile with your goofy self. You treated me like one of your own. You took care of me after one of my surgeries. Made sure I took my meds when supposed to and made sure I didn't do anything I wasn't supposed. I can not thank you enough for that. I will miss your smile, your personally, how you lightened up the room when you walked in, your generosity, your kindness, your love and caring heart. I will miss you sooooo much granny. I will cherish every moment spent with you including your last days of life. You will be in my heart forever and always. I love you granny!!

Jeanne, I do not know where to start.
I loved you from the first day you came on the job. We had so much fun working together, calling each other.
You were such as good friend,
I am so sorry that we had not kept in touch the past few years. I know we all had our families and other things that prevented the things that were important.
I will love the memories.
I know you are with your mom and dad and most of all the man that loved you with every fiber of his body. You had it made, such love.

Jeanne was a woman I thoroughly enjoyed calling my Mother-In-Law. She always seemed to dispel the stereotypical portrayal of such. I admired her most for her unique sense of humor and shall forever remember it. We all will miss you very much.

I worked with Jeanne in the late 70's early 80's and had not seen her in several years. I went to see her at the hospital after Lorene called and told me she was asking about me. She knew exactly who I was and started with her BS like she was so good at doing. I will always remember that large beautiful smile that she gave to everyone. She was such a joy and I feel so very lucky that I got to be called a friend of hers. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I unfortunately only met your Mom once when she was up visiting in Maine a few years ago, and what a feisty little thing !!!! I am glad I had the "Ant Pete" experience. Take care
