Jeanne passed away in May of 1999 after many brave years struggling with cancer and a complete bone marrow transplant, all the while showing a LOT OF LOVE for life and her family! Attachment BELOW that Ogden Regional Medical Center wrote about Jeanne. There is actually a plaque hanging in the halls of Ogden Regional that Jeanne wrote. Jeanne worked in the Cancer Center at that hospital during most of her own cancer treatment. I don't know how she did it. She was the most inspirational women and friend since we were 4 years old that I will EVER have the honor of knowing. Jeanne planned her oldest daughter's wedding while lying in a hospital bed knowing she was terminal and would NOT be able to attend the wedding. Two weeks after Jeanne passed her oldest daughter was married.
