Jeanne was an amazing teacher and always treated new teachers with respect and friendship. She was a hero who took up tap dancing after retirement and always had a smile, a friendly word and true interest in others. She was a bright light and made a positive differance in the lives of all she knew. I'm glad our paths crossed. Sincere condolences to her family.
You will be missed. Dawn Hansen

Jeanne had all three of the Sweeney children at Korger. She was smart, funny, kind, engaging, and sunshiny....all the good words in the dictionary. Our family was lucky to have had her in the lives of my children. Jeri (Sweeney) Lijewski

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Wright was my kindergarten teacher at Stillson school in 1971. I remember her fondly.
