Jeneane M. Ricketson

Jeneane was escorted by angels into the arms of Jesus on Feb.2, 2014. She was born in Temple, Texas on Jan.22, 1931 to Merle Modesett Davis and Hume Davis. Her family moved to San Antonio at an early age. She attended Brackenridge High School, and completed her education in Granger, Texas at Granger High School. In 1950 she married William (Rick) Ricketson and they were immediately stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii where her loving daughter Patsy was born. Being a military family, Jeneane and Patsy returned to San Antonio when Rick was assigned to Korea. In 1963, they were stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 1966, they returned to San Antonio. Jeneane worked as a bookkeeper several places, with her last two employers being builder Doug Saunders, before becoming the "Mother Hen" to all the "Deanie Owens" Southwest Realtors. She retired in 1982. Jeneane was an adamant animal lover. She loved watching classic western movies, CMT, as well as feeding the squirrels and birds that frequented her backyard. Towards the latter part of her life, she became an avid Spurs fan, and everyone knew not to interrupt her during a game.
