Darlene Blankenau wrote a sympathy message

“Jeanne was the first student I met when we moved to Malvern in 1957. We were friends, dated brothers, graduated in 1960 and shared an apartment when I graduated from nurses' training. She wrote out the checks to pay our bills. If it was an odd amount one month she would pay the penny and the next month I would. We would go on diets and then make late night runs to the ice cream store. I will miss my "oldest-dearest" friend. May God bless you, Jeanne,”
