She was the sister of the late Linvel “Brian” Brown. Cherished grandmother of the late Dalton Goulart.
Jeannie is also survived by many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
She was a Caregiver more than anything she did in her life. As an early teen she chose to put her on life and education aside to help care for many of her younger siblings. By age 25 she had 4 children of her own but continued her dedication to helping her mother, brothers, and sisters. Through all of this, Jeannie still found a way to work to help support her family often going without for the comfort of others. Jeannie loved to search for treasures at yard sales, and antique shops. Jeannie worked at Components, Chadwick’s, Cumberland Farms, and would clean, and paint apartments nights and weekends. When Jeannie became a grandmother she was there unconditionally to help care for them as recently as bringing up, and caring for her beloved grandson Charlie to the day she died. Just when we thought she had given everything of her self, we found she had one last gift as an organ donor her cornea's will be used to help another. Jeannie was the most unselfish giving and caring person our family and friends may ever know. She loved spending time with her family. She will be greatly missed.
