Jeanne was born in Elizabeth, Ind., in 1930, the 7th of 9 chil- dren. Four of her brothers and sisters preceded her in death. Burial took place on Oct. 21 at Perseverance Chapel, Ind. Jeanne was a second mother to many in Moab. Her sense of fun and adventure, her joyous love of life, and her feisty humor helped many of us to weather the trials of daily living. She loved soft, green places. She loved Ireland and dancing and traveling and rabbits and hummingbirds and beachcombing. She grew great tomatoes. She loved to be in the hustle and turmoil of life and friends were always welcome to stop by and share their bad moments, as well as the good. Jeanne first came to Moab in 1954. While married to George Wiggins, she lived at the MGM 1 drill site above Potash when the old road made it a couple hours trip from town. When they moved to Alaska in 1962, Jeanne took on the challenge of homesteading life in the arctic, keeping a shotgun by the back door to run off brown bears, and canning the best King salmon on the Kenai Peninsula. Camping and hunting were always part of her life. She was a good pistol shot and could cook a bacon and eggs campfire breakfast in a pouring rain. She worked on the Alaska Pipeline in warehouse inventory control and put that experience to use when she returned to Moab in 1982 and went to work for Rio Algom. Jeanne read everything she could get her hands on, and she en- sharing that knowledge joyed f VjT Mary Jeanne Smith with others. Second to the people in her life, Jeanne loved books. Friends wishing to commemorate her passing may send donations to the Grand County Library. The family wishes to thank Tracy Harris and the Hospice program for making it possible for Jeanne to spend her last days in her own home. Mr. Harris gentle and compassionate care was a blessing.
