Jeanne was a forerunner of female entrepreneurs running a boarding house out of her home during the 1940’s, raising her children through the 1950’s and 60’s. By the 1970’s she became an accredited ceramic instructor, running her ceramic shop out of her home as well through the 1980’s. Jeanne and her husband Vincent spent a large part of their later years as snowbirds in Bradenton, FL.; also known as “Little Honesdale”. Jeanne enjoyed both oil and watercolor painting along with feeding hummingbirds, and passing on a love for the game of Spades to many in her family. Full of spunk, Jeanne often had a large pot of chili for the half-time card game reflections.
