I worked for Jeanne at Peper Martin when I first started working there. She was great to work with and a very kind person. My condolences to her family.
Tom, Kippy and Judy you and your loved ones have our deepest sympathy upon the death of your Mother. We have many happy memories of Jeanne and Bob and all of you and St Elizabeth’s activities. Your Mother was always kind, generous and helpful. We have another angel in heaven looking over us. Ed and Jeanne Wanner
