Sylvia "Jeanne" Fall died peacefully at home in Tucson on Friday, May 2, 2014, after a courageous battle with cancer, two days after her 81st birthday, a milestone she wanted to make.
Born on April 30, 1933 in Fordville, North Dakota, to Andrew and Stella Axelson, she lived in Minnesota, Washington and then moved with her beloved husband Clyde and three children, Cyndi (Welch), Brad and Michael to Anchorage in June 1960. Only expecting to stay two years, Alaska became her home.
Jeanne and Clyde met in the summer of 1949 in Sandpoint, Idaho. Jeanne was 16 and Clyde was 20. They married in December of 1949 and celebrated 64 happy years of marriage in December 2013.
Jeanne is survived by her loving husband, daughter and two sons; brother Allen Axelson; sister, Susan Hudson; five grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
Jeanne was very social, enjoying her Red Hats and TOPS clubs and loved to cook; she invited friends and family over often for meals and was known for her salmon bakes using salmon caught at their property in Sterling.
Jeanne always preferred to smile and chose to laugh, even during grueling chemo sessions. She was an inspirational and irreplaceable wife and mother and a great friend to many. We will miss her every day.
A memorial service for Jeanne will be held Sunday, July 20, at 1:00 p.m. at the Sterling Senior Center, with Pastor Randy Parshall officiating.
