I knew Jean for over 20 years and in the time she always had that great smile and attitude that went with it. She always tried to making people feel happy, comfortable and welcome in her home. Talks and walks with her at the home were always a pleasure and special and I always left feeling good about myself and the world around me, again like I said before she had a way to making you feel that way. People like her are few and far between but thankful she has passed that quality on to her children and it shows in them all. She will be miss very much by a lot of people. My thoughts,prayers and love to the family

To the family of Jeanne Henigan
I knew Jeanne thru my sister, Nina Taylor Rumburg - and always loved being in her company - what a gracious lady, just a joy to be around. May she rest in peace and God Bless all her family at this most difficult time.

My friend, I was so fortunate to have her in my life. Many happy memories through the years were shared with her & Bill & some some very hard ones too. I was so glad I got to visit her a few years ago, & she knew me instantly & remembered a lot of our shared adventures. A dear fried, a wonderful mother, wife sister, & friend. There aren't too many as loyal as Jeane.
