She was a loving mother and a doting grandmother. Jeane lived life to the fullest and felt blessed with opportunities to do the things she loved. She enjoyed working in her fabulous yard and staying busy. She felt that “people should never limit themselves because of age, but continue to go for their dreams.” Memorials may be made to Pampa Meals on Wheels, PO Box 939, Pampa, Texas 79066-0939; or First United Methodist Church, PO Box 1981, Pampa, Texas 79066-1981, the two organizations she felt so very passionately about.
