Jeanne Marion Poage was born on November 2, 1929, in Fremont, Nebraska, the daughter of George and Fern (Dearks) Moyer. She grew up in Fremont and graduated from Fremont High School and Midland University in 1947. Jeanne attended John's Hopkins University and graduated with a degree in nursing in 1952 and then graduated from the University of Nebraska Omaha in 1954 with a psychiatric degree. On April 15, 1954, in Grand Island, Nebraska, Jeanne was united in marriage to Raymond Roy Poage. She was employed throughout her career as a psychiatric nurse and was director of nursing at Lincoln (NE) State Hospital prior to moving to Long Lake, Minnesota in 1964.
Jeanne was always there to help when a friends or neighbors were going through an illness. She was known for her fascinating conversations about any topic and her gourmet cooking. She had a unique ability to anticipate what her family and friends needed or wanted even before they knew what it was and to make everyone feel as if they were better off for having been around her for an hour, a day or a lifetime. Jeanne had a fond love for animals, especially cats. She will be forever remembered.
She is survived by her loving husband of over 62 years, Raymond of Willmar; two children, Dr. John Poage of Maple Grove and Kathy (and Gaylen) Morse of St. Bonifacius; three grandchildren, Dr. Graham (and Kris), Taylor and Evan and three great grandchildren, Isabelle, Harrison and June, besides other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Phyllis Munoz.
