Jeanne Naugle Obituary

Jeanne (Steinert) Naugle

Jeanne (Steinert) Naugle, 84, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2020, at Hospice of Southwest Ohio. She was born July 30, 1936 in Cincinnati to Marjorie and William Steinert.

Jeanne grew up and lived her very full life in Cincinnati and married her college sweetheart, Bob, whom she met at the University of Cincinnati. Prior to college, she graduated from Sacred Heart Academy where she made many lifelong friends. While busily raising four children, Jeanne devoted her life to early childhood education. She was a beloved preschool teacher to countless children over the years. She and her dear friend, JoAnne McDevitt, founded and ran the Burney Lane Nursery Center for many years. When the center closed, they both taught at St. Ursula Villa until retirement. Jeanne and JoAnne continued serving together as volunteers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and for ProKids.

Jeanne was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 61 years, Bob, who died in 2018, as well as her dear sister, Elaine Harden. In retirement, Jeanne and Bob spent their golden years traveling and enjoying their grandchildren. Jeanne leaves behind her brothers, Jack Earls (Deena) and William Steinert, and her adoring children: Mark (Geraldine) Naugle, Cynthia Kenyon, Carolyn (Scott) Hamlin, and Amy (Sean) McGrory. "Nana" adored her 9 grandchildren: Grace and Eric Naugle, Tyler Kenyon, Allyson (Josh) Betustak, Leah (Bijon) Mostoufi, Mark Hamlin, Madalen (Jeremiah) Moore, Michael and Colleen McGrory, as well as many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Jeanne's advice to live by: you always look better wearing black, big hair is more fun, and if your kids want to dig in the mud with your silver spoons, let them do it!

A strong advocate for children and a lover of animals, donations can be made in Jeanne's memory to ProKids (prokids.org) or to Cincinnati Lab Rescue (cincinnatilabrescue.org). Celebration of life to be held at a later date.

Mrs. Naugle will go down in history as my son’s favorite teacher ever (Fred Craig). She believed in him and helped him to love learning. She was very patient with his busyness and encouraged him to do his best. After he finished his year in Pre-3 at the Villa with her, he stopped by her classroom every morning in his remaining years at the Villa to say ‘Hello’. He’s now 30 years old, went to Stanford and graduated from University of Pennsylvania and most of all, is a kind, determined and happy young man. I give Mrs. Naugle the utmost credit. Thank you from an eternally grateful mom. RIP dear Jean.

Jeannie had a blessed life. She loved her husband, children, grandchildren and each little preschooler that was in her care. (Not to mention her four legged friends). Everyone of them loved her too. One preschooler told me he loved Mrs. Naugle because she smelled so good like playdoh (home made). I was lucky enough to have her for a dear and unique friend. I have countless happy memories that we shared. Together we took classes, taught school, volunteered and best of all laughed a lot. She is one of my blessings.
