She was born in Elkhart on Oct. 31, 1927, to the late Roy and Iris (Ganger) Cripe, and later married Louis J. “Lou” Brandon in 1947 in Elkhart. He preceded her in death just over one month ago in Elkhart, and it should be noted that Jeanne passed on their 67th wedding anniversary.
Surviving are her daughters Karen (Greg) Stutsman of Elkhart and Linda (Dave) Renaldi of Tecumseh, MI; a sister Marcia Whitehead of Carmel; 5 grandsons and their spouses, 10 great-grandchildren and one great-grandchild who is on the way!
A brother, Richard Cripe, precedes her in death.
Although Jeanne was a homemaker, she remained busy by volunteering her time and services at the Oaklawn Psychiatric Center for nearly 45 years. She was also a lifelong member at Creekside, which was formerly known as the Elkhart City Church of the Brethren.
