Jeanne Francis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jeanne expressed endless gratitude for her long and beautiful life, and for the love and joy she found in her family. She shared 64 years with her beloved husband, Lee Francis.
She is survived by her daughters, Deborah Francis Wallace and Cathy Pendola; her son-in-law Tony Pendola; her cherished grandchildren, Ryan Wallace (Bee), Ashlee Pendola, Vince Pendola (Mercedes), Sabrina Pendola (Eric Fideor); and her great-grandson, Owen Pendola.
Jeanne will also be remembered as a loving sister, aunt, and great-aunt.
Jeanne was known for her kind heart, her quick wit, and her ability to make everyone feel seen and loved. She had a modern soul - resilient, graceful, and full of light. It is impossible to fully capture in words the joy Jeanne brought to those around her. Everyone who shared their life with her is truly blessed.
Overman-Jones Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Plainfield, was entrusted with arrangements.
