KENO, Norma Jean (Jeanne)

The White Mountain Independent Show Low, Arizona 06/22/2007 Jeanne Keno, 69, died June 18, 2007, at her home in Eagar. She was born May 10, 1938, in Eagar to Lester and LaVerne LeSueur Wiltbank. Jeanne was a cook at the Safire, XA and the Ramada. She was a mother to all and never knew a stranger. Every kid in town knew there was always a four-course meal and a place to stay waiting for them at her home when needed. The kids were fed almost as well as her dogs. While the words she spoke weren't always said with kindness, they were said with love. She will be greatly missed. She is survived by her son, Ronald "Buzzy" Keno; her daughters, Ronna "Scooter" (Bobby) Richard, Sherri (Bill) Malone, and Lisa Ost; step children Carlos (Bea) Reyes, Jay (Mimi) Reyes and Laura (Brian) Summerfield; 22 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; her sisters, Carla Nelson, Myrna Sherwood and Judy Wiltbank; and her brother, Gary Bruce (Enid) Wiltbank. Preceding her in death were her parents, her brother Dwain Wiltbank, and her companion of 32 years, Ray Reyes. Visitation will be at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Springerville Building Friday, June 22, at 9 a.m. Funeral services will follow at 10 a.m. also at the church. Interment will follow services at the Eagar Cemetery in Eagar. Burnham Mortuary of Eagar handled arrangements.
