Jeanne Ellyn Pommier Passed away on July 23, 2026, at the age of 74, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and enough stories to keep her family smiling for years to come.

Born on April 28, 1952, in Vinton, Iowa, to Bernard and Marie Kreutner, Jeanne grew up as the only girl among six brothers. She learned early that if you wanted to be heard, you had to be quick with your words and even quicker with your wit. Fortunately for everyone who knew her, she mastered both.

Jeanne married the love of her life, Murray, and together they built a beautiful life over 48 years of marriage. They raised two wonderful children, Ben and Angie. Jeanne was also blessed with a wonderful son-in-law, Eric, and her greatest joy came with the arrival of her grandson, Hobbes. Becoming Grandma suited her perfectly, and Hobbes quickly discovered that Grandma's love came with plenty of hugs, encouragement, and probably a little spoiling.

Jeanne was a faithful member of Redemption Lutheran Church, where she found joy in ringing handbells with the church bell choir. She loved crocheting, creating gifts stitched with patience and love that will continue to warm family and friends for years to come.

When she wasn't crocheting Christmas gifts, there was a good chance Jeanne was happily defeating another level on her iPad or cheering on her beloved Minnesota Twins and Vikings. She celebrated every win, lamented every loss, and like every true Minnesota sports fan, entered each new season convinced, "This could be the year."

Jeanne had a wonderful sense of humor and a knack for making people feel at home. She loved gathering with family, sharing stories, and laughing until everyone forgot what they were laughing about in the first place. She was strong, generous, and never afraid to speak her mind-a skill undoubtedly perfected while growing up with all brothers.

She is preceded in death by four of her brothers. She is survived by her devoted husband of 48 years, Murray; her children, Ben and Angie (Eric) Nix; her cherished grandson, Hobbes; two brothers; and many nieces, nephews, friends and fellow church members who were blessed to know her.

While family grieves her absence, they can almost picture Jeanne settling into heaven, finding the nearest bell choir, the latest Twins score, and wondering if the Vikings might finally make it all the way.

In Jeanne's memory, cheer loudly, laugh, often, hug your family, and remember that life is always a little sweeter when it's shared with the people you love.

Well done, good and faithful servant.
