Jeanne was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the West Richland Women's Golfing Club. She enjoyed nursing, her children, grandkids, golfing, and craft/sewing projects.

She is survived by her three children: John Corder of Seattle, WA, Joe Corder (Judith) of Kennewick, WA, and Judy Fecht (Karl) of West Richland, WA, along with 9 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, and 16 great great grandchildren.
