Jeanne was born June 29, 1944 in Clinton, Iowa, the daughter of Frank & Nellie (Hansen) Hackett. She was a graduate of Clinton High School and Clinton Business College. It was there that Jeanne won a state-wide typing contest. Jeanne is from a wonderful, loving family and always showed wonderful personal charm and grace from this background. She became best friends with her sister Carol - they were always extremely close. 

On September 1, 1963, Jeanne was united in marriage to Brian H. Peters in Clinton. They moved to Iowa City where Brian was working on finishing his degree at the U of I. During this time, Jeanne worked for the U of I at University Hall, and then later at the Veterans Administration. Many friends were made in this time as Jeanne was always a receptive and welcome personality to others.

Upon Brian's graduation, they moved to Bettendorf in February of 1966 where they are today. They were blessed with two sons, Jeff and Mark to whom Jeanne has always been a loving mother. She acted as room mother in the school system for a time and always attended her sons’ activities with Brian. Both sons were in the BHS football program and Jeannie took great interest in all of their activities.

Jeanne was employed with Von Maur at both the former Duck Creek and Northpark Mall locations for 14 years. Prior to that, she had been with Toyfair, also at Duck Creek. She had also earned her license in real estate in earlier years. 

Jeanne and Brian enjoyed their Caribbean cruises and traveling to Las Vegas and Tunica, Mississippi. She also loved the company of her dog, Sarge.

Those left to honor her memory include her husband, Brian; her sons, Jeff (Paula) Peters and Mark Peters, all of Bettendorf; and her sister, Carole Camp of Charlotte, Iowa.

In addition to her parents, Jeanne was preceded in death by her brother, Gary; and her brother-in-law, John Camp.
