Jean May Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A lifelong westsider, Jeanne graduated from Northwest High School in 1967. Soon after graduating she married her high school sweetheart, Robert Stephanoff, who she would always say was a better ex-husband than he was a husband. She remained very grateful to him for the gift of her two daughters, Angela Stephanoff and Amy Stephanoff (Moe).
Jeanne retired from Verizon (previously GTE) in 2009 where she was a Supervisor. During her later years she proudly completed her college degree, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Management in 2004.
Her most proud achievement in addition to her daughters were her grandchildren. Buddy, Shelby, Connor, Cooper, Sammy, Brylee, Carson, and Camryn meant the world to her. The apple of her eye though was definitely her great-grandson Harold IV. Mom and Memaw were her favorite titles and she was amazing at both.
Throughout her life, her Catholic faith was very important to her. She spent years volunteering at the Catholic Crisis Centerand Little Angel Gowns. Other interests included knitting, watching The Golden Girls, traveling to Anna Maria Island, baking/cooking, watching WWE with her grandsons, March Madness, playing Old Maid and board games with her family. She was very hard to beat at Scrabble. Her favorite candy was Chuckles and those who knew her know she made a delicious Chop Suey. She was obsessed with organization and never met a spreadsheet she didn't like. Her daughters suffered through many roadtrips to the nearest Frisch's Big Boy as well.
A visitation will be held at Usher Funeral Home (2313 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46222) on Thursday, February 6th from 4-7pm. Funeral service will take place on Friday,February 7th at St. Christopher Catholic Church (5301 W. 16th St.,Speedway, IN 46224) at 10am.

I am very sad. We shared many good times in grade school and high school. I had a huge crush on her when we were very young, kindergarten through the next couple of years. She was so pretty. I remember walking to her home at a young age to hang out with her. It seemed very far from Moreland Avenue.

I will miss cookie day, your little rye pizzas and all the loved you showered on me when I was a very young woman. You were an incredible 2nd mom to me and I´ll miss you forever and always.
