Jeanne was a wonderful mental health nurse to all the clients she served and the agency I work at Le'Chris Health Systems. I will miss her joking and calling reminders. She was very smart and quick witted. She will be missed most definitely as she was a wonderful person with a heart of gold. I will miss her telling you exactly what she thought whether you liked it or not, I had an appreciation for her personality as she will be a huge loss for the mental health field and it will be hard to fill her shoes*

Although Jeanne and I never saw each other after I left SLHS in '70, I will always remember Jeanne as a good friend and one that I share some fond memories of.

As one of Jeanne's fellow classmates(SLHS, 1972), I was very sad to hear of her passing. I remember Jeanne as being reserved, very friendly, with both an inner and outer beauty. She will be always remembered in my heart. I pray that the rest of her family will find comfort and peace in this difficult time.

I am also a graduate of SLHS (class of '75) so Jeanne was just ahead of me. She and her siblings were in many classes with my cousins...Don, Neil, Ray and Ralph Williams. Jeanne and I worked for Pitt Mental Health , I was there for 13 years before joining the medical school. She loved life and was always a champion for the underdog. A group of girls from the center got together and had a "girl's weekend" at the beach. I have pictures of Jeanne dancing in my house at the beach, that is how I will always remember her. My deepest sympathy to her family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Theresa Edmondson

My deepest sympathies to each of you in this tragic loss. Jeanne openly shared not only the love of her patients, but the special love she had for you, her family. She was always so excited about family vacations and being able to spend time in the mountains or at the beach with those so dear to her. She will be especially missed here by her patients with whom she had such a special relationship, and also by her colleagues. My prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
