Sorry for your loss. I met Jeanie about 10 years ago as a CRNA. We were able to spend time together outside the hospital and I always enjoyed every minute of talking food and health with her. Our time together was short but special and I think of her often.

I had the pleasure of working with Miss Jeanie as a relief anesthetist in Michigan 20 years ago. She loved talking about her B&B at International Falls, Mn. She was a good dependable practitioner. I’m glad i never lost track of her. Quite an inspiration for all of us.

I’m glad i never lost track of her. Still working at 87! I thought 83 was a record. Quite an inspiration for all of us.

Marcia, Debra and family, we are sorry for your loss. We were saddened to hear about your mom. We had just talked about her retirement at the meeting. We didn’t know Jeanie very long, but we knew she was a very pleasant person. Sending prayers for you and your family.
