Jeanne was part of a big mixed family. She grew up in Rochester, attending School #7 and Marshall High School where she met her husband, Steve. They had two children, Steve Jr. and Kristen. As a family they often traveled to places in the Caribbean, Florida, and many campgrounds in between!
Jeanne used to horseback ride. She competed at the County and State Fairs and won awards. As an adult, she became a paralegal and also helped to run Steve's business, Impact Painting and their property businesses.
A Bill's Fan?... Yes! As all upstate New Yorkers do, Jeanne also was a loyal and devoted follower, going to games when she could. She was also devoted to family and her dog Chase. She enjoyed things like sun and sand, pool time, traveling, boating, skiing, and mostly just hanging out with her husband Steve. She has many good memories of boating with friends Dave & Kathy, Angela, Lynn & Leslie on Ontario Lake.
Jeanne loved Santana and classic rock music. She loved to laugh, so she watched a lot of comedy. She often watched Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens. Some of her favorite movies were Forest Gump, 50 First Dates, Finding Nemo.
A jokester, and "sometimes" sarcastic, having fun was part of Jeanne's daily routine. She was an amazing daughter, mom, grandma, and aunt. She hated cleaning, but always did it regardless. Though she was strong-willed, she was approachable, a good listener, and gave good advice. It was in her caring nature to help others. She'll be missed by those who enjoyed her and her memorable qualities.
