Maria is a devoted daughter and caring woman, heartfelt sympathies to dear Maria and her family. Maria loved Jeanne enough for 5 family members!!
Jeanne’s great love for her family and dedication to her faith were monumental and unwavering. Her passing leaves a giant hole in the hearts of her family and friends and may only be soothed if we can remember the generous love that she poured into each of us. I feel fortunate to have been welcomed into her heart and into her family. I want to imagine that she is now flying with the angels.
My husband, John Cooney and I were pleased to have been a small part of Jean’s life through our long friendship with Jean’s loving son, John, and his wife, Suzanne.. Rest in peace, Jean. Thank you for bringing your son into this world.
Jeanne’s love for family and friends was so present each time I was with her that I can see her smiling from Heaven as I write this. She was as lovely a person as her photo represents, and I truly loved her. As time went on, we both moved to different places and I moved to Florida; however, we kept in touch through phone calls and visits I made to Illinois. My most recent memory of our conversations was that just before our call ended, she told me “you made my day.” I treasure the years God brought Jeanne into my life!
The Peace Hospice, Three Oaks family wishes to express our sincere condolences to Jeanne’s family and friends. We are honored that we could provide care and companionship to Jeanne and her family on her final journey. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
