Jeanne LaDUKE Obituary
of St. Petersburg, FL passed away surrounded by her loving family April 1, 2019. Jeanne was born in Louisville, KY to Maurice and Adeline Buchart. She was a beautiful inspiration to all who met her. She had a sparkling personality and enthusiasm for life and lived her life to the fullest. Always kind and loving, Jeanne possessed the most positive spirit even in her final days. Jeanne could frequently be found on the golf course, dance floor, card table, or home cooking delectable meals for friends and family. She was a mentor and role model to many with a passion for making people feel welcome and included. This inspired her to help co-found "Girlfriends" at Isla Del Sol. Simply stated, she was a beautiful expression of God. Jeanne was greatly dedicated to her family. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband for 62 years, Joe and her brother, Ronnie Buchart. Jeanne is survived by her brother, Maurice Buchart; sister, Marcy Russ; six children, Donna, Lee, Michelle (Steven), Nancy, Annette, and Martyne (Michael); as well as nine grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and her dedicated caregivers. A memorial service will be held May 16, at Blessed Trinity Church, at 1:30 pm, followed by a Celebration of her Life at Isla Del Sol club house. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Joseph's Indian School or Suncoast Hospice.

I would say that Jeanne was one of a kind but she raised her beautiful family with such love that she will live on through them. I have missed seeing Jeanne at the Club and enjoying so many GirlFriends activities that she loved. I am blessed to have known Jeanne and to have called her my friend. God Bless. May our Lords peace be in all of your hearts knowing your Mom is at peace.

Such a special LADY, and a wonderful friend. Always ready to laugh dance and have fun. A wonderful family and all her special daughters always brought joy and laughter to all who knew them. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. Love and hugs Charlotte Pileggi.

A beautiful woman inside and out. She possessed an infectious energy that warmed your soul. Queen Jeanne will be missed, but her family possesses that same contagious energy.
