My condolences for Jeanie's family. She will be greatly missed.
Sorry for your loss. My you have the peace of God.
I have fond memories of Aunt Jeanie when I was growing up living in WV, and visiting the Cleavenger farm. Aunt Jeanie was always the youngest aunt, bull of energy and ready to do things. She took care of her Mother, my Grandmother for many years, I always loved her for that.
Wilford, Melinda and family,
I got to know Jeannie when I worked at the Bank. She was a fiesty one! I enjoyed talking to her and Wilford both, even went to their home one time for 2 or 3 hours, just talking about Marsh history and such. Thinking of you Wilford, and your family.
