Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. Please introduce yourself and share with us a positive memory you have with our mom in the comments.
Due to COVID, gatherings to celebrate her life will be postponed. As we plan virtual and in person gatherings, we will share details here.
If you would like to honor her with a gift, please consider donating to No Kid Hungry, a cause close to her heart. The donation link is available on this memorial page.

We did not see each other enough but were always in touch. She was one of my best friends. We met in Home Ec in 9th grade when we dropped our pie into the oven door hinge. Jeanne was spirited and fun. A favorite memory is a trip to Bayfield WI with Jeanne. She was good to her parents and loved her children. I'll miss you my friend. All my love to Molly and Max! less

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

I hired her to work for me at Nina Boutique at Brookdale Mall while she was in high school. She was mature beyond her years. Jeanne easily transitioned from employee to friend. She has been a constant ray of light in my life for all these years. Jeanne fiercely loved her children and cherished her friends. The world is a darker place now that her beacon of light and hope is no longer present. less

Your mom was the queen of entertaining! She was always so thoughtful, kind and intentional. Jeanne put on the best fall/Halloween parties. From pumpkin carving to delicious food to bobbing for apples! I also remember being in the basement for crafting events like when we made blankets for our American girl dolls! Jeanne was the best, and she will be missed dearly. less

I cherish those times, the pumpkin carving parties, cross-country skiing, hikes with the dogs and sharing in good meals and fellowship at church. Jeanne was one of the most talented, creative, and thoughtful friends...she will be missed beyond words, we take comfort that she has found peace and now send our love to all she touched, mostly her beloved Molly & Max. We love you, Joyce & Cole Moulton less
