Jeanne Marie Morris Obituary (2023)

Jeanne was born in Great Falls, Montana, to Herman and Mary Reimer. She was proud to be from Montana and graduated from Great Falls High School. If youve ever met Jeanne, you know she was truly beautiful, inside and out. Jeanne was a mentor to many and loved by everyone. Jeanne was strong, hard-working, soft spoken, smart, classy, honest, and kind. There are special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone, and Jeanne was one of those people. Jeanne married Dick Soennichsen, and they became proud parents of Debbie and Randy. They moved several times, eventually moving to the Nile, where they purchased the Woodshed Restaurant and Eagle Rock Grocery. In 1980, Dick tragically passed, leaving Jeanne a single mom. Jeanne married Keith Morris in 1982. Together they finished raising their children and operated the business along with the farm, with a great deal of success. Throughout their 42 wonderful years together, they raised horses and cattle, enjoyed gardening, mushroom hunting, and preserving jam from fruit grown on the farm. She was known for her homemade raspberry brandy. Keith and Jeanne made the best sauerkraut! She also loved going to the casinos and often won. Jeanne is preceded in death by her parents, brother, Robert, sister, Midge, first husband, Dick, daughters, Debbie and Laurie, son, Randy, and great-granddaughter, Shelby. She is survived by her husband, Keith, sisters, Kathy and Barb, sister-in-law, Joye (Jerry), and brother-in-law, Kenny; children, Lisa, Darla (Craig), and Bill, several grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
