Jeanne was born and raised in Deer River. She graduated from Deer River High School in 1951. In 1966 she married Ed Schultz and they moved to Fairbanks, Alaska.

Our dear Auntie will be remembered for many things; her love of gardening, working in her yard, feeding and tending to any animal that came into her yard, all her crafting, her love of garage sales, and then giving away all her "treasures". Jeanne was a giver and was always doing for everyone. Her face would light up when she around the little ones and never came to see them empty handed. We will miss you!
