 Hello, everyone!

 It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Jeannie passed away in
her sleep earlier this morning.

 As many may know, Jeannie has been dealing with major health challenges
and was preparing to transition to hospice care.

 Along with many other roles, Jeannie served as president of our Oklahoma
affiliate and as our national treasurer.  She was deeply committed to the
Federation and lovingly cherished her Federation family! She believed
strongly in the importance of the work we do together and the
transformative impact it had in her life and in the lives of so many! She
was incredibly grateful to the officers and members of the affiliate who
have given so much and taken on responsibilities as her health declined and
to everyone who reached out to her with such love and support.

 We will continue to honor Jeannie’s  memory in the love we have for each
other and in the essential work we do each day!

 A memorial service will be held Tuesday afternoon in Bethany, Oklahoma.
Details about virtual options will be available soon.

 I am filled with gratitude for the time Jeannie was with us! She made such
a positive difference in my life and in the lives of so many!

 Rest peacefully with your beloved husband, Mark, my sister!
