Jeanne Reese Allison

My mother was a remarkable woman, like all the women in the family.

Daughter of the redoubtable “General” Thelma Reese, Mother managed to carry on to her own little family the love and capabilities she inherited from her mother.

Over a life that at 75 lasted not long enough for her children, Jeanne raised us, energetically volunteered in the community, and eventually went to work. She had a variety of jobs related to music and the arts, managing concert bookings, artist accommodations and a multitude of other tasks.

She also loved us. And loved the grandchildren as they came, for whatever her interests were outside the home, and they were many, family came first.
