We will all miss Jeanne. She was the epitomy of professionalism, very accomplished, talented and a class act. We worked with Jeanne for many years at Preston Gates & Ellis n/k/a K&L Gates and learned much from her.

Jeanne was one of the warmest, funniest, kindest people I've ever met. We had great fun with our fraternity brother husbands, Ralph and John Buhler. Two Rose Bowl trips, parties on the beach in Port Townsend, overnights for Husky games with Tim and Lana, weddings, dinners out, too many good times to recall here, but they live in our memories forever, as will Jeanne. God bless you Jeanne, heaven got much brighter on October 1.
Much love to Ralph and the family.
John and Jill Buhler

I’m so saddened to hear of Jeanne’s passing. Jeanne was my mentor during my first experience in the legal field. I worked with Jeanne in the “Dream Team” (the bankruptcy group) at Williams, Kastner & Gibbs. I am not exaggerating when I say that Jeanne taught me all that I know about being a paralegal – and all about being a strong woman. To this day, if I’m ever in a jam at work, I think: “WWJD – What would Jeanne do?” Thank you, Jeanne, for your patience, your loyalty, your grace, and your classy example of what I aspire to be.
