Jeanne was a bright and classy lady. We always enjoyed her company and conversation. We have special memories of her visits to SC. She was always so pleasant and fun. We are grateful for the happiness that she brought to Robert Johnson’s life. She will be sorely missed.

I know some time has passed since reading the obituary in the Indy Star. I would like to express fond memories of my kindergarten teacher to the family. Not only was Mrs. Sharpnack my kindergarten teacher at John Strange, also my brother Kent, and my husband Don. Prayers and thoughts are with you, and may peace find you in the days to come.
