Jeanne and I became close friends in 1981 working together as the "Plastic Team" in the OR at Piedmont Hospital. She was my dearest and closest friend for 34 years. Even though through the years life kept us miles apart we always stayed in contact and traveled to visit whenever time permitted. She was always gracious and loving to everyone, always ready to help those in need. She taught me a lot about being a friend and loving people in general. Jack I am so sorry. Jeanne will always be close in our hearts and Praise God we will see her again, happy, healthy and alive in Christ.

So sad to hear this! I worked with Jeanne for 15 years in the OR at Piedmont. She always had a smile on her face. I used to tell her that she would have made a great cruise director as she was always smiling & talking to everyone!! To Jack & the girls....I hope you find peace in knowing Jeanne is in a better place, pain free, & beautiful!! RIP SWEET JEANNE!
