Jeanne was born in Deerfield, IL to Theodore and Elsie Johnson. She was a graduate of Highland Park High School and moved to Alabama when she married the handsome, blue-eyed love of her life, Gerald A Warren. Together they raised three daughters and began a beautiful family of precious grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jeanne was a devoted wife, loving mother, sister, aunt, and fabulous grandmother and great grandmother. She became known as Mema to not only the grandchildren and great grandchildren who adored her, but also to friends and family who came to know and love her dearly.
Jeanne loved to dance, sing, and enjoy time with the family she loved. She was an amazing bookkeeper with an incredible mind and sharp attention to detail. She carried these skills with her throughout her entire life. She loved to sew and made beautiful matching clothes for her three daughters when they were young. She also loved to crochet and made beautiful afghans for her children and precious baby afghans for her grandchildren. She passed along this skill to her youngest daughter, Jackie, who lovingly carries on the tradition for her. She made Christmas stockings for each new member of the family as they were born. Most of all, she loved boating and spending time with her husband and family on the Tennessee River and Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Mrs. Warren was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald A Warren, her parents, Theodore and Elsie Johnson, and her brother, Theodore Johnson III.
Survivors include her three daughters, Deborah (Giles) McDaniel of Madison, AL, Marianne (Stan) Hurt of Ocean Springs, MS, and Jackie (Danny) Boatman of Counce, TN; five grandchildren, Kelly Gooch, Mary (Darryl) Sheets, Cal (Courtney) Cossich, Warren (Kait) McDaniel, and Anne Marie Hurt; eight great grandchildren, Juliette, Cal IV, Theo, Mac, Cohen, Norah, Gabriel, and Cristophe; four siblings, Dr. Robert (Barbara) Johnson, Donald Johnson, Glenn (Liza) Johnson, and Chris (Jim) Landaker; sister-in-law, Rhonda Warren, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Jeanne is healed and in the loving arms of God. She has been reunited with her husband and so many others who have been waiting for her in Heaven. Rest in Peace, Mema. We love you and will see you again.
