Jeanne grew up with her family at the family homestead in New Port, MN.  She was the oldest of two, John, her brother, being born two years later.  She was baptized and confirmed at New Port United Methodist Church.   

She attended Oltman Elementary School and graduated from Park High School in 1969.  She worked a variety of secretarial jobs.  Her most memorable were with Farm Credit Services and 3M.  Working in the departments for adhesives and later traffic and safety systems at 3M.  

She was a passionate supporter of the republican party and loved watching Fox News.  In addition, she thoroughly enjoyed watching Gun Smoke.  She was an independent woman, who took great pride in building, purchasing and maintaining her own home.  Some of her fondest memories were her times spent with friends at various parties and growing up with the Plessel kids.

Retiring early due to an illness her brother John developed, she devoted herself to his care during a bone marrow transplant in Seattle, Washington, and continued to offer support in his last days before his death.
