On Thursday, March 5th, 2026, Jeanne Marie (Rooker) Bohan passed away at the age of 70. Jeanne was born in Abilene, Texas on August 11th, 1955, to Marlyn and Marjorie Rooker. She graduated from Midland High School in 1973 and completed her Bachelor's degree in Fashion Merchandising at Texas Tech University in 1977.

Jeanne worked in retail and retail management before holding various positions in accounting and bookkeeping, as well as working as a grants manager for the Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma. She continued work until her passing as an account assistant.

A lifelong Catholic, Jeanne's faith was the center of her life. It brought her great joy to serve her parishes in many roles, some of which include RCIA Director, Adult Faith Enrichment Coordinator, Youth Group chaperone, Catholic Charities Parish Liaison, bell choir member, Eucharistic Minister, usher, Pastoral Council member, and lector. Jeanne served her community with joy and would regularly be seen at volunteer parish work days, cleaning the rectory, and leading many various bible studies. She led countless people to the Church and truly lived out her faith in every aspect of her life.

Jeanne loved traveling, playing the piano, music, good food, coffee, dancing, reading, and celebrating her children, grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She loved sharing family holiday traditions like singing Christmas carols around the piano and animated games of left-right-center. Jeanne loved the show, The Chosen, and even appeared as an extra in the series. She also made the world's best cream cheese kolaches. She cherished spending time with her family and friends and always knew how to make people feel special and loved. Despite the many trials and suffering she faced, she remained steadfast in her faith until the very end and was a beautiful witness of what living out the Gospel truly means. She will be so dearly missed, but we are thankful and at peace knowing she has now found true happiness in eternal life.
