My grandmother was one of my favorite people . The last 3 years have been very difficult for me without her . But reading how much she was loved always lifts my spirits. Thank you to those who loved her for exactly who she was .
I just saw this today and I am so heart broken .. My sincere condolences to the family .. She was a great friend .. God Bless you all .. Dee in New Hampshire
Jeanne was a very sweet person. I remember all the shifts we would sit at the picnic table. She’d smoke and we have educational and powerful conversations. We’ve lost touch over the years, but she will be missed. May you RIP Jeanne! Thanks for all you did!!!!
I've shared many memorable moments with Jeanne. We worked together most of our careers from SPD to 911. She was outspoken and fun to be with. And always did a great job. Kind hearted, helpful, generous are words I'd use to describe her. A great friend and co worker.
Miss you Jeanne.
Jeannie did a lot for us at WAVES over the years...... still miss our Friday "Family dinners" with her famous cheesecake every friday.....She made a huge impact and she will be missed

Jean was a wonderful person. Always had a smile on her face and laughing. We called her Jean, Jean the dancing machine. We had great times with her at SPD. Wonderful dispatcher. RIP Loretta and Lisa
Oh behalf of everyone at McNeil and Company, we'd like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Jeanne's family, friends and WAVES staff. We will miss her.
God bless Jeanne and her family and friends and co-workers. Thanks for your dedication. God has gained an Angel. Love from the Fike family, Ken, Clara and Sarah.
Many years ago I was about to go to a conference held in San Antonio, TX. Before I left, Jeanne started talking about armadillo races that were held there (apparently that’s actually a thing). The conversation evolved from there, the hilarity of which I could not do justice to adequately conveying in this post. If you knew Jeanne, you would likely understand what I am talking about. When I was there I found this stuffed armadillo in the gift shop of the Tower of the Americas. I got it for her and she kept it on her desk from then on. It remains at WAVES to this day. Every time I see it it reminds me of the laughs we had that day. Thank you, Jeanne. -Chris Fullagar
