She attended the Academy at Baylor Female College in Belton, TX, the University of New Mexico and graduated from the College of Saint Joseph on the Rio Grande. Jessie lived on a ranch and operated Renouard's Country Pastry Shop; but her greatest achievement was teaching which she did over a 50 year span.

She is survived by one son, Kenneth Renouard and his wife, Carole; one grandson, James Jordan Renouard; many nieces and nephews; and grand and great-grand nieces and nephews. Services will be held Saturday, 2:00 p.m., at French Mortuary, University Blvd. Chapel, 1111 University Blvd. NE, with James Ward officiating. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Park, 924 Menaul NE. Jessie's greatest joy was all of the former students that would come by and say they remembered being in her class. French Mortuary, 1111 University Blvd. NE.
