Jeanne was born to Douglas and Helen Richard Augustin on December 5, 1943 while Doug was stationed with the Air Force in Columbia, South Carolina. She moved back to her family home of New Orleans as a toddler where she remained a lifelong resident. Jeanne graduated from Mt. Carmel high school in 1962 after which she received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Nursing from LSUNO in 1966. She married Alan Stolier, whom she met in college, on August 19, 1967. She worked as a nurse at Charity Hospital, Ochsner and Baptist until retirement in the early 1990s.
After her retirement, Jeanne donated time to the suicide crisis hotline while earning Master Gardener status. She volunteered her extraordinary talent and time to the LSU AgCenter Extension, Longview House and Gardens and City Park’s grounds and Botanical Gardens. Her personal canvas was her own spectacular garden on Nashville Avenue. Jeanne was a devout catholic with a warm demeanor and a generous spirit. She is known by those who loved her for her patience, kindness, elegance and innate grace.
Jeanne is survived by her devoted husband Alan and her two children Jeffrey (Jennifer) and Rachel, her siblings Camille Eberts (Elmer), Martha Hand, Helene Burgin (David), and James Douglas Augustin. She was an instrumental figure in the lives of her three grandchildren Ella, Noah and Oliver Stolier.
