Jeanne Maranda Harrison was born on April 12, 1964 and passed away peacefully on September 5, 2022.
At an early age, Jeanne accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and lived her life by His teachings.
Jeanne will be remembered as a loving Daughter, Sister, Aunt, and Niece. She was affectionately
known in the family as "Auntie Jean Jean", as she reserved a special place in her heart for her beloved
nieces and nephews. Jeanne had a kind, loving spirit, and a strong will. Her family, friends,
and coworkers can attest to her remarkable strength and courage.
Jeanne moved with her family to San Diego, California at the age of 10. Jeanne was shy throughout
elementary and middle school, but by high school, she overcame her meekness. She joined
the drama club & choir. She also participated in tryouts for the Helix Highlander Marching Band High Steppers,
and made the team, she then auditioned for the position of "High Stepper Captain", winning the title and becoming
the FIRST person of color in Helix High School's history to hold the rank. Jeanne led the high steppers with confidence, pride and distinction.
After graduation from Helix, Jeanne completed courses at Grossmont Community College.
Then shortly after, she began her career in an insurance brokerage. Earlier this year she celebrated
her 20th anniversary at a distinguished insurance brokerage firm with the title of Senior Account Manager.
Jeanne loved traveling, spending time with family and friends and celebrating the holidays.
Christmas was a favorite time of year!! She loved decorating the tree, singing carols and baking.
Everyone always looked forward to enjoying her holiday fudge!
Jeanne leaves a legacy of love; her family as well as friends will forever miss her joyful presence.
Jeanne is survived by her Mother, Jessie Harrison, Siblings, Nieces, Nephews, and a host of other
relatives and friends.
