Jeanne A. Sturim

We have been heartbroken by Jeanne's death and keep thinking of the unimaginable loss for Howard, their family, and many friends. Jeanne brought such wisdom and dedication to her work for the Women's Center of RI, helping mothers and children escape domestic violence. She served in numerous capacities, including president.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We must remember though that Jeanne is now safe in the arms of Jesus, a place where we all long to be. Mary Ann ,Pauline and Vivian (Doering). Our thoughts are with you all .
