Praying for your family. I knew Jeanne from Jr High school. She lived 2 houses away from me in lyman. I last saw her at the all school class reunion. On behalf of the Jim & Arretta Price family of Lyman we send our sympathy.
May sweet memories sustain your family!
Jeanne. As long as I live and my mind doesn’t fail me, I will always remember your infectious laugh, your good naturedness, grouse camp (very best upside down pineapple cake EVER, won’t be topped), your “spunk”, your love of your pups, your ALL-IN support of your family and so much more! One would have to search far and wide to find a Lady like you these day’s!
