Jeanne was such a beautiful and lovely woman. I loved all the days of attending the "Roadrunner" games in the 70's with she and Doyle along with Mom and Dad and Ruth and Johnny Lamb. She will be missed and all our deepest sympathy goes out to her loving family. With our Love Donna "Seeber" Fetzer and family

Jean, will be missed, gone but not forgotten by all who knows her. Jean was not only a beautiful lady, all so a wonderful neighbor.
We prey that our LORD takes her hand and leads Jean to the gates of heaven. Jean will be sadly missed but not forgotten.
