She later worked as a personnel manager for the United States government for 20 years, taking her from Denver, Colorado to Amarillo, Texas to Washington DC, where she retired from federal service in 1999.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, taking long walks and reading. Jeanne will be remembered for her unconditional love and devotion to her family, of which she had great pride. She strove to and succeeded in instilling an appreciation for the importance of education and independence in her children and grandchildren.

Jeanne will be sadly missed by her children Linda Harrison, Charles Harrison, Mike Harrison, and Sandra Harrison, her four grandchildren Janna, Dylan, Connor and Kayleigh and great-grandson Gunnar. She is also survived by one sister, Ruth Bernice Terronez and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
