Jeanne was born to Leona (Smith) and Donald Peterson, February 22, 1951 in Marysville, Ks.

She was in accounting soon after high school and was last employed at Great West Life.
Jeanne fought a long and courageous battle with several bouts of cancer.
Jeanne's nick name was "Mean Jean" due to her mad skills at dominos, pool, and playing cards. She loved helping other people in any way she could. She also loved her pets. Her dogs Fuzz Button, and Spike were her greatest joy through the years.
