 Webmaster's comment:  I first met Jeanne when she worked at the Town & Country Entertainment Center while I was bowling on the Thursday Seniors Colored Pin Bowling.  When I had my heart by-pass surgery, she watched over me like a hawk to make sure that I didn't do anything that would cause my body stress.  I loved to pick on her and she would pick right back.  It was Jeanne who talked with me about "sponsoring" the Tuesday Seniors League (which I did).  I thought of her often this past few years.  She and I would bowl on the Monday Seniors League and I was also on her Monday's team.  She was an extremely caring and fair person.  I will miss her.
