As an extension of Christian Counseling Outreach, Jeanne organized the non-profit organization CCO Ministries that sponsored the Black Stallion Literacy Program for Howard County children and supplied other charitable causes. Jeanne lives on in the spiritual sense in those whom she touched, and her faith in God was shown through her tenderness, guidance, conversation and actions. To be a spokesman for Jesus Christ was her goal, a goal she met every day of her life. Survivors include her sister and brother-in-law, Susan Forkner Lebo and Charles E. Lebo; and her uncle Bryce Jack Simmons. Pastor Mark Malin will officiate the services. Friends may call at the church from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday.
