Jeanne loved serving others to honor the Lord. She participated in blood drives, donated to Locks of Love, and helped many others in the community through prayer and action. Her hobbies included “playing Facebook”, quilting, and writing and sharing her music.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Arlen and Frieda Howe; sister, Holly Howe-Burgess; and great-niece, Mikaela Collins.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jeanne’s name to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).
The family would like to thank the Central City community for the fellowship and support throughout Jeanne’s life, especially the last few months. Thank you specifically to Central City Family Pharmacy and the Hometown Market for their timely deliveries that allowed her to live in her home (and always have popsicles). Thank you to the church community for lifting up Jeanne in prayer and praying with her daily (especially the Lord’s Prayer, her favorite).
The family would also like to thank Above & Beyond Hospice and nurse McKenna for their compassion and care of Jeanne. A special thank you to Dyane, Shareisha, Aubree, Martha and the BrightStar Care Team for their loving support. Jeanne will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
