My condolences to the extended Wilson family and friends. I remember this lady from my grade school days at Jewett School, perhaps even the Jewett Methodist Church— that was a long time ago but I did remember the face that went with her name. R.I.P.

To the family of Jeanne Wilson: I bought a watercolor painting that I watched Mrs. Wilson paint in the lobby of Sardis Oaks, where I worked as a physician. She inspired me for her tenacity and commitment to live life to the fullest. I learned her son (Steve, I believe) helped to manage her business. Jeanne was not a patient of mine, but I was inspired by her. Her painting is hanging above my desk as a testiment to what God can do in our lives.

I recently came across one of Mrs. Wilson post cards she gave me as her nurse at Sardis Oaks. I was always drawn to her mild spirit and kindness. She was such a joy to care for. I still have the art work she did for me of the paradise scene from the bible at Luke 23:43 from another picture. The post cards depicts Harrison County, Ohio Stahl/ Bob Stewart house. To her son that always visit with the beautiful white hair..truly sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing and amazing woman in our lives. Your dedication and love for your mom was so evident. Kindness Regards
Revelation 21:3,4.
