It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jeanne Nixon, who peacefully left this life on June 15th, 2025, at the age of 83. Born on October 13th, 1941, Jeanne’s life was characterized by her love for her family and her steadfast support for those around her. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, roles she embraced with dedication. Her influence remains in the lives of those she nurtured and guided. Jeanne was known for her commitment to family traditions and her ability to make ordinary moments special. She was a proud member of the United Polish Club and Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Jeanne also enjoyed traveling. Highlights included two trips to Hawaii and many travels to Las Vegas. She cherished the memories from her trips and enjoyed sharing them with others.
