She and her husband, Stanley, spent the early years of their marriage in Duluth, where Jeanne was employed by the Coolerator Co. until it closed. Following a move to Bainbridge Island in 1955, Jeanne worked for the Washington State Ferry System as a food service worker and enjoyed the experience of serving on the ferry, Evergreen State, on its maiden voyage.
In 1960, she and Stanley moved to southern California, where they spent the next 25 years. During that time Jeanne was a foster parent to several foster children and in 1995, on the occasion of her 81st birthday, was honored by the state of California for her work in foster care.
In her later years she traveled extensively, including a trip to Norway at age 80, where she rode a bobsled on wheels down the Olympic course in Lillehammer.
She returned to Bainbridge Island three years ago. She had a true servant's heart and in spite of her failing vision, continued to minister to others whenever possible, including being a telephone visitor for Lutheran Family Services. She was a sweet fragrance to all who knew her and was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Nothing pleased her more than spending time with her family.
Jeanne is survived by her son, James and daughter-in-law, Marge, of Sandy, Ore.; her daughter, Vivian Burnett and son-in-law, William, of Bainbridge Island; a sister, Grace Erickson of Duluth; seven grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
