She and Jerry were fortunate to do quite a bit of traveling over the years and visited most of Europe. A trip to Prague was among her favorite stops. According to her family, Jeanne was an excellent cook. She also adored Miss Lilly the cat and liked to keep up with current events, as she read several local newspapers weekly.
