After her marriage, she worked for Gaskill Construction Company. In the 1970's she worked part time at Moorestown Middle School as an aide in the special education division.
In 1956 she married Herbert C. Berner whom she had admired since she was a young girl and settled in Moorestown where they had one daughter. In 1980 they moved to Laurel, DE. Several years after her husband passed away, she moved to Hollywood, MD to live with her only child, Susan Berner Morrison, Susan's husband Andrew Morrison, and Jeanne's granddaughters, Elizabeth and Rebecca.
Jeanne enjoyed reading, discussing current events, camping, and spending time with her family and dogs as well as being a "mentor" for elementary school children. She was the best mom a daughter could have.
