In 1964 after building their dream home the family relocated to St. Andrews where they completed their family and raised their five children and granddaughter. Her main interest was her family, holidays were always special there was always enough food for at least 15 more people, at Christmas time it took her a month to decorate and bake the treats she passed down to us from her mother. Not only for her children but also for many nieces, nephews and friends she could be found on the morning of their wedding, completing the finishing touches on their custom ordered cakes. At least a half hour before mass on Sundays she could be found already seated silently praying and patiently waiting for her children. Jeanne was a member of the CWL and a "real" Knights wife. The family would like to thank the following, the staff in the Intensive care unit of Concordia, the staff and doctors at Selkirk Hospital. Msgr. McCloskey and the parishioners of St. Theresas for their prayers. Pallbearers will be her grandson Garret Groves, nephews Ed Schroffel, Mark Miller, Martin Miller, Murray Kowerko, and Rick Kowerko.
