Just the way I remember her. Lovely!
My deepest condolences on the passing of the wonderful Jeannie. I had the pleasure of working with Jeannie for many years at the YWCA about 15 years ago. I have never forgotten her and I am so sorry for your loss.
She was a wonderful lady, full of life, laughs, and stories. - Elsie
To Frances, Grant and the rest of Jeannie's family, I share your loss. Jeannie was my co-worker, teacher, mentor and friend during our years working at the YWCA. After leaving the YWCA, our friendship continued over these years and extended to my family including my husband, whom she lovingly called "Friday night". She was a wonderful lady and I will remember her stories and our "talks" on her birthdays. Rest in peace, my dear!
I am so sorry to hear of Jeannie's passing. Hers was always the warm voice that greeted me when I called the YW to speak with my mother, Fay, and our conversation always brightened my day. Even after my mom retired from the YWCA, I would ask "has Jeannie retired yet"? Inevitable, the answer was no. I feel blessed to have had her as a part of my life.
We shared a passion for shoes, and used to joke about becoming "older and wiser" but having to give up funky shoes for boring orthotics. She nicknamed me "yellow shoes" for a very stinking pair I had on the day we met and often looked at my feet before she looked at my face... her reason was that my shoes were more interesting! Oh, but I loved her sense of humor and her free spirit at speaking her mind. She was so refreshing to work with and so much fun to have around. I am so happy to have crossed paths with her and will treasure all her words of wisdom. She will be missed!
