She lived a life of generosity, freely giving her time and many talents. She volunteered for many years as a Sunday school teacher, worked in the church office, substituted in local schools, and was employed at Elder Oil Tools before opening a successful prepress print shop with her daughter.

She had a special love for children and found joy in helping them in any way she could—whether supporting her students or caring for her grandchildren and their friends. Serving others was her greatest joy.

Jeanne is survived by her husband of 57 years Neal Byerly of Nordheim, TX and daughter Kelly (Mark) Carroll of Victoria, TX as well as her grandsons, Mason Wayne Carroll of San Antonio, TX and Dawson Carter Carroll of Victoria, TX.

Jeanne is also survived by sisters Evangeline (Marty) Ott of Fort Lauderdale FL and Sandi (Dennis) Laliberte of New Port Richey, Florida and many nephews and nieces.

She is preceded in death by her parents, William Cantrell, Nick and Eva Carter, and two older brothers Don and Ron Cantrell.
