I remember watching Dean's show and hearing my mom and dad laughing and couldn't quite understand, til I grew up. Some of my best childhood memories include Dean and his family. My dad passed and last month my mom joined him, and her memorial we played Dean's ' ain't that a kick in the head'. Her favorite. RIP Mrs. Martin. You were in a lot of peoples happy times.

We first met Dec. 16, 1966, Reno, NV. We stayed friends all these years with our once a year phone call. I was thankful that our last call was Aug 23, 2016 or it may never have happened and I wouldn't have had the chance to say goodbye. I will miss those beautiful eyes and that infectious laugh. I've missed Dean all these years and now I will miss you as well. Bye JB my friend.

Although their marriage ended in divorce, Jeanne and Dean's marriage of 20+ years is something to be proud of. In love she bore him beautiful children with whom they will be re-united with after death.

It makes me sad that Jeanne Martin has passed away. She appeared to be a very gracious and loving person and she certainly took care of her family, as did Dean. I think three of her children died before her and I'm sure that made her extremely sad. May you all now be reunited in heaven. Rest in peace, all of you, and thank you for wonderful memories

To the family,
I am sorry for your loss of your dear loved one. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God's true thoughts are of peace for us, not pain. May reflection on his goodness comfort you.

I was so sorry to hear of this and of Ricci. Since I was thirteen, back in the 60's, I adored Dean Martin and his beautiful family, and have become one of his biggest fans. I had the pleasure of meeting Deana at a concert at the state theater in Bethlehem, PA. I will never forget her beauty along with her love and friendliness for her fans, it was one of the biggest highlights of my life! My sincere condolences to all of the Martin family, May our dear Lord give you all the peace and comfort you need during this very difficult time. Your mom was truly a beautiful woman, and your brother was as handsome as your dad! Donna Pfneisel...Center Valley, PA

Love to my cousins !!!

Gina, it's been a long time, since a Beach Boy concert at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. Jeez, it was the Last time I saw you and Carl, wish we'd had more time to chat. All my hugs and further loving condolences to you and your family at the untimely loss of Ricci as well, I always enjoyed going to Club 88 to see him trying out some new music and how excited he was when he got his new GMC Jimmy.

My condolences to the whole Martin Family.
Such a lady,always blessed with class,beauty and those gorgeous eyes!
Taking on a husband's children to love & raise in any age is a big deal.Jeanne did it in the" old days",and in Hollywood. Though a little kid,I did hear my folks, remarking on "How lucky Dean Martin was ",and grew up to understand,they were fans of her,as much as of her hubby,who we all loved .
Rest Jeanne.People who never met you,loved & respected you,the family you cared so for,and your beautiful strength...
