Jeanne loved music, movies and could quote lines from any movie she had ever seen. She had a beautiful voice and led us in our Christmas singing while light looking. She was a prolific note card writer, loved to give gifts, and most of all, she loved to laugh and find the humor in most anything. Her brilliance was unmatched for this world. While a student a Manatee Community College she led the Math team to 2 State Championships. Her love of math and science led her to graduate with a BSN-RN from Florida Gulf Coast University College of Nursing with honors. Jeanne spent her life in service to others as a board certified cardiac Registered Nurse serving patients in hospitals and heart catheterization labs. Her humor brought a bright light to patients. She was often recognized by hospitals and labs for her compassionate care. She loved her children abundantly, was a wonderful mother and worked to support their success. She encouraged and celebrated their successes, lauding her son Louis starting a business, Ian graduating college with honors, William's acceptance to University of Florida in Chemical Engineering, Samuel's sports and educational talents and Elizabeth's many creative talents.
