Nancy J. Jeanpierre, 81, of Kohlsville finished her marathon of life and went home to the hands of her Lord surrounded by her loving family on Sat. March 7, 2015 at Aurora Medical Center, Grafton. She was born in Milwaukee on March 11, 1933, the daughter of Oliver and Irene (nee Klug) McFarlin. She attended Riverside High School in Milwaukee. Nancy married Thomas E. Jeanpierre on July 25, 1953 at St. Peter and Paul Church, Milwaukee. Nancy was the glue of her family and was "always there" and the moral compass of her family. She was a very courageous, unwavering, patriotic woman. Along with taking care of her husband and raising her 4 children, Nancy worked at the Union snack bar at UW-Milwaukee, bringing smiles to hundreds of students daily. Whoever met Nancy, instantly became her friend. She loved all animals especially her rabbits, birds and enjoyed flowers particularly lilacs and gardenias. Nancy also "LOVED" shopping and rummaging. Those left behind to cherish her memory include her husband Tom, her children Jeffrey (Valerie) Jeanpierre, Cheryl (Jim Freiberg) Jeanpierre, Thomas P. (Kerry) and Michelle (Lance) Kehoe; 9 grandchildren Nicole, Emily, Jordan, Austin, Erik, Robbie, Tommy, Jack and Jeremy; brother David Klug, sister-in-law Mary (Carl) Eckhardt, other relatives and friends.
