    My thoughts and prayers go to Jeanne’s dear family. She was a treasure for all who knew her smile and optimism. We who were lucky bough to know her as a fellow resident at Horizons On The Bay cherished her friendship and generous spirit. Jeanne and I drove to together to play bridge every Wednesday and Thursday and cards here Monday evenings. She was my dearest friend and confidant.

    Jeanne was one of God’s Angel’s, always smiling, always kind, and always ready for a laugh. We will miss her delightful presence at cards on Monday evenings. May God’s love surround each of you as you say goodbye to this kind woman. Johnny and Sharon, Jeanne’s HOB neighbors

    I will greatly miss Jeanne’s visits to Twin Beaches Library. Her smiling face and engaging conversations always lifted my day! We once went to the movies in Annapolis and then enjoyed dinner al fresco at the Old Stein Inn! Although we always talked about books and movies, I never knew her connection to films until I read her obituary. So many questions I would loved to have asked her! I know her family and friends will miss this charming, amazing lady. I will, too.
