She is preceded in death by her parents John and Patricia Leight; mother-in-law, Doris Grover; brother John Leight; great-nieces, Faith and Hope Brown; and Alvin her much loved chihuahua.
Jeannie was born on January 28, 1961, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. She grew up in Severn, Maryland where she graduated from Glen Burnie Senior High School. In 1998 she met James, the love of her life, and they were married on September 24, 2000. They built a home they loved, and have resided in Calvert County, Maryland since.
Jeannie was a devoted wife, stepmother, sister, aunt, friend, and dog mom. As a Calvert County School bus driver for the past 17 years, she thoroughly enjoyed getting the students to and from school safely each day, and watching them grow year after year. Whenever she was out in town, you were bound to hear a voice asking Ms. Jeannie how she was doing. A lover of summer, Jeannie enjoyed spending time outside whether it was working in her yard or visiting the beach. She was also an avid animal lover and supporter who spoiled her dogs to no end. If you ever heard her talking about them, you would have sworn she was talking about children! She will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who knew her.
