JANESVILLE - On Saturday, Jan. 29, 2005, Jeane Ellen Mansur went home to be with the Lord following a brief illness at Mercy Hospital. Jeane was born on April 23, 1934, in Janesville, WI, to Rex and Creta (Brown) Addie. She spent most of her life in Rock County. She married her high school sweetheart, Robert Mansur, on Sept. 6, 1952, at Rock Prairie United Presbyterian Church. They operated the family farm for many years in the Johnstown area. Together they have 6 children: Brian of Tampa, FL, Lea Jean (Dr. Eric Nimmo) of Wasilla, AK, Jim (Kristi) of Janesville, WI, Cheryl (Mike Blackford) of Cape Coral, FL, Dave (Cindy) of Milton, WI, and Jay (Penny) of Spring Arbor, MI.
Jeane found salvation at the age of 9 years at the Oregon Campground in Oregon, WI, and was a member of the Emmanuel Free Methodist Church in Janesville, WI. Over the years she taught Sunday School and CYC at every grade level, including 7 years with the teens. In addition, she served as CYC director, Christian Education director, Sunday School secretary, and was a choir member. She was a life member of the Women's Missionary Society. She and her husband provided foster care for numerous young adults throughout the years. Later in life she enjoyed volunteer work, including being active in the Hospice program.

She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Robert; her 6 children; 25 grandchildren; a great-grandchild; and her brother, Lawrence Addie (Lynda). She was preceded in death by her parents; and her granddaughter, Melissa Joy. The most important thing to Jeane was being with her family.
