She also enjoyed gardening, going to the casino with her beloved sister, spending time with her grand-pup, Pete, and shopping with her 3 granddaughters.

Jeanne grew up in Ithaca and graduated from college with a degree in Retail Merchandising in 1948. Upon graduating she moved to Rochester and worked as a buyer for McCurdys. She met Carl on a blind date, and they married in 1955. They would spend their early married years working on their home, spending summers in Maine, and of course golfing. She was also a member of the Seton group which did fundraising for St. Mary's Hospital. She left the work force in 1962 to start their family. She continued her charity work during these years and was also involved at her church, girl scouts and numerous activities her children were involved in. In 1979 she returned to the work force as a gift buyer at the PWKH Wine Shop and Gift Arcade at Brighton's 12 Corners. She spent many hours volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House working on the gardens and helping out the with the families. She loved doing this and making new friends. Especially anyone who played Bridge, golfed or was a Red Sox fan. Not a week went by that there wasn't a group at our house playing cards. Together Jeanne and Carl traveled the US by car visiting 30 plus National Parks. There was always a map stretched out on the dining room table when they weren't entertaining friends. There were numerous trips to Boston and Ithaca to visit siblings and cousins. Jeanne was very involved with her grandchildren and super proud of the adults they became. She so loved spending time with them. And of course when the great grand children arrived she was beyond thrilled. We have been blessed as a family that we all live close by. Jeanne's calendar was always full, and she would have to check it see if she was available. I think her involvements in Family, friends, volunteering ,golf ,bridge playing, and baseball kept her living life to the fullest for 95 years. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her!
