Obituary
Jeanne L. Brandon, 86, of Goshen, passed away following a sudden illness at I.U. Health Goshen Hospital on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2014 at 6:20 pm.
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.
A celebration of Jeanne's life will take place on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 at the Creekside Church of the Brethren, 60455 C.R. 113, Elkhart, with visitation beginning one hour prior to the 11:00 am memorial service. Pastor Rosanna McFadden will officiate and private entombment will follow at Rice Cemetery at a later date. Arrangements have been placed under the care and direction of Billings Funeral Home of Elkhart.
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 life-long member at Creekside, which was formerly known as the Elkhart City Church of the Brethren.
Memorial donations may be given to the church. Online condolences may find the family at www.billingsfuneralhome.com.
