Jeanne and I worked together for many years at Xerox. She was my “right hand” for most of the time that I was a manager there. I only saw her a few times after I left in 2007, but have fond memories of the many years that we worked together and also sharing stories of our children growing up. My condolences Tracey and Lindsey.
I didn’t know Jeanne for long, but I enjoyed her company. We had some interesting conversations. I am glad I got to know her.
My prayers to all of you.
Dear Tracey and Lindsey,
I am very sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom. She was a wonderful co-worker at Xerox for many years. Jeanne always had wonderful things to share about her two lovely daughters and was very proud of you She loved showing you off on “Bring your Daughters to Work Day”. I can just imagine how thrilled she was to have grandchildren to cherish. I will keep you all in my prayers. Lovingly, Anne Trocano
Jeanne was a kind and supportive colleague at Xerox. She always went out of her way to help others and brought warmth to every interaction. Her love for her family was evident in everything she did, and I know Tracey, Lindsay, and her grandchildren were her greatest joy. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time.
Jeanne was a coworker in our multinational education and translation department at Xerox in Webster. She was always very pleasant to work with, and always willing to help in anyway she could. Professionally very capable and organized. Socially outside of work we often gathered with her family and relatives on her husband’s side. Very family oriented. A very capable, pleasant, and mild mannered lady. May she rest in peace. 🙏
A kind, sweet, thoughtful cousin who always showed up and was there for her family. I know she will be missed by many. Sending my love. Cousin Rick
Pat Sweetland here! Pat Haggett told me she saw about your mom’s passing. So sorry to hear this. Your mom watched Christina and Karen while I sub. taught and then she helped me with Girl Scouts. She was a very sweet person and I always loved being in her presence. I love the picture of the 3 of you.
Would love to catch up with you at some point. My e-mail is patsweetland@hotmail.com.

I also met Jeanne through a social group. She was a thoughtful sweet person.
I have unforgettable memories of a lovely and very dear friend. Jeanne and I worked together at Xerox. Through the years we had great times together. She was quiet, smart and a caring person with everyone she came in contact with
My condolences are with Jeanne’s beautiful daughters and the rest of her family.
Dear Tracey and Lindsey,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. Jeannie was a special friend and coworker. We got together often when you were both little. Tracey you beat me playing candy land every time. Jeannie and I would make a date for lunch every year to celebrate our birthdays, which were two days apart. I’ll really miss that.
She leaves a wonderful legacy in both of you and her grandchildren.
So sorry for your loss. I just heard about it so I’m sorry to be so delinquent in expressing my condolences. I met Jeanne working at Lord and Taylor and kept in touch after the store closed but meeting for lunches and dinner and through occasional long phone calls. I will definitely miss her.
