Jeanne was a great friend to the children and staff of Devereux and was instrumental in organizing a Christmas party for our kids at the Officers Club on the beach. I will also never forget her ongoing love for the movie actor Tom(of course I can't remember his last name). Jeanne did make the world a better place.
