Jeanne was a graduate of D.C. Public Schools. She worked in several administrative posts for the federal government, including the Department of State and the Agency for International Development.

She is survived by Dani, Eric, grandson Tristan, great- grandson Harlem, nieces Pamela Carter Pugh and Rita Carter Meade, nephews Michael Carter and Mark Carter, and those who knew and loved her sharp wit and caring ways.
