Bob and family, I and so very sorry to hear of Jeanne’s passing. I have such fond memories of Jeanne and cherish all the childhood memories growing up in the same neighborhood. All the high school trips and proms and special times together are forever etched in my memory. When my husband Mike was going through cancer treatment the same time as Bob, Jeanne was a great support and strength to me and I’ll be forever grateful. She was “one of a kind” and will be greatly missed. I pray the Lord will surround you with His love and comfort through this time of loss.

Bob, my heart hurts for you. Two memories pop to mind. On my first day of work at the Network in 1989, answering the phone and you were traveling and called in. We hadn’t met yet and when you exclaimed “My wife’s name is Jeanne!!!” I liked you already. Fast forward to 2003 and Todd and I were going through marriage prep class at the Cathedral. Each of us were asked to think about a married couple we admired. Guess who popped into my mind – you and Jeanne. Every time I saw the two of you together it was evident you enjoyed each other and you both had that sparkle…better together. How wonderful to witness and such a blessing for you to have a lifetime together. It’s never long enough is it. God Bless You Bob and I’m so very sorry.

Bob, Nicole, Lora, Pyfer and Pouliot family, We are so sorry for our loss and the loss of the world through Jeanne’s passing. She was a unifying force of LOVE for all who met her the ripples she provided the humans in her circle. Bob, your 55-year marriage with Jeanne was a shining example of all a marriage can and should be. You may never know the goodness you both gave the world by loving each other so much. Thank you for sharing the streaming time of the funeral, as we were unable to make it in time due to transportation concerns. The funeral mass was the best sendoff I have witnessed. I believe Jeanne will be forever surrounding her loved ones now and, in the future. Nicole, Lora may you always carry your mom with you in all you do and love. WE love you all and are sending our condolences. Pete, Linda Griego and family

Dear Pouliot Family,
There is a heavy sadness in our hearts as we write this note, but cherished memories, too. From sharing our time as members of the class of 1967 and then as married couples living just blocks away from each other in Missoula. However, our times backpacking the mountains of Montana : The Anaconda Pintlers, the Beartooths and especially the rain/snowbound trip into the Bitterroot Selway with Bob and Jeanne are some of our best. We were as close to heaven as one could get!
Sending our love to Bob, Joanie and Linda

Jeanne touched everyone with her sparkling, loving, funny personality. She always beamed with brightness when seeing her. Her special technique of teaching children, like my son Hunter, in first grade was undeniable. The Pouliot Family, we are thinking of you all and how special your connection is with one another. May you find peace with the many cherished memories you shared with each other. Sending our love and sympathy from the Marshall Family.

Dear Bob, and all of your family. I am so very sorry for your loss of Jeanne, and so grateful that I had the honor of working with her for about 13 years at Kessler. All the descriptions of her written by others are absolutely how I knew her. Always kind, smiling, game for any ideas for projects and programs that we needed to do with her class. She supported me every single time. She was truly a gem.

Dear Bob, Nicole, Lora and the rest of the Pyfer and Pouliot families:

My sincerest sympathies on the loss of an amazing woman. Jeanne was one of my babysitters when my family lived across the alley from the Pouliots. I was beyond thrilled when she started teaching at Kessler and was my child’s first grade teacher. She was highly respected and very much loved by everyone. I pray that your memories will comfort you during this difficult time. Blessings to all.

Her next adventure awaits us all. Thanks to 70 years knowing Linda and Jeannie and Joanie, my life is richer. My family is sending light and love to Bob and the girls … and of course to all the Poliots. Bless Jeannie on her way! So glad to’ve known her.
