de their lifelong home on their farm in Oregon, Wis., where she raised eight children, David (Janice), Theresa (Al) Bentley, Linda (Ray) Sislo, Allen (Cathy), Jane (Gary) Troz, JoAnn (Dave) Bowen, Kathleen (Roy) Golz, and John (Karen) Barger. In her lifetime, Jeanne enjoyed flower and vegetable gardening, picking strawberries, canning her harvest, sewing clothing for her herself and her children, crocheting, painting ceramics, and playing cards at holiday gatherings. She enjoyed family fun and provided delicious campfire desserts during the family's annual camping trips. Jeanne especially loved baking, cooking, and candy making. She inherited this culinary passion from her mother, who ran the kitchen at Bowman Dairy, and her mother-in-law, who ran the kitchen at HMC school. She delighted in sharing her cooking with others. She accompanied the Oregon 6th graders as the cook for the Wyalusing State Park trip for decades. Jeanne prided herself on preparing food entrees for most of her children's wedding receptions. She had a way of turning every event into a special and memorable occasion. Jeanne is survived by her husband, John of 63 years; her eight children; her grandchildren, Janelle Heller, Jessica Barger, Dianna Stace, Ben Barger, Andy Thoe, Erin Bowen, Sam Troz, Amy Bowen, Lee Troz, Joe Bowen, Miranda Golz and Jayden Golz; five great-grandchildren, with a 6th due in November; and her sister, Judy (Bud) Mick.
