Jeanne grew up in Carlyle and graduated from St. Mary’s Grade School in Carlyle and from Mater Dei Catholic High School in 1965. She later received her B.S. in mathematics from St. Louis University. After graduating, she worked for three years as a cartographer with Aeronautical Chart and Information Systems in St. Louis.
