Jeanne attended School No. 54, Arsenal Technical High School and Ball State University where she received her bachelors and masters degrees. She later earned her LCSW designation from Indiana University.
She began her career as a teacher for the Indianapolis Public School System. After moving to Kokomo, she formed the faith-based Christian Counseling Outreach 25 years ago, serving the needs of many Christian individuals and families in crisis.
Jeannie, as a therapist and friend, saw in others what they hadn’t seen in themselves. She was a teacher, caregiver and counselor to everyone. She never said “no” to her clients and friends who needed her at anytime of the day or night. As a result of her work, Jeanne was selected 2005 Social Worker for Region Four and Social Worker of the Year in 2005 for the state of Indiana.
Jeanne was affiliated with the NASW and belonged to the Tech Alumni Association, Ball State Alumni Association and I.U. Alumni Association.
Jeanne conducted a bible study at her home and office for many years. She was part of the founding group for Oakbrook Community Church, where she was an active member. Jeanne and friends organized and performed “Celebrating Love,” a Christmas program for the community. She never turned away anyone in need, having handled many patients without insurance or the ability to pay.
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.
A second calling and service will be held at Washington Park East Community Life Center in Indianapolis on Saturday. For further information, go to www.indystar.com.
