Born in Scranton, she was one of two daughters born to the late Thomas and Helen Cleary Conroy and was a 1958 graduate of South Catholic High School.  After Jeanne’s children began school, she received her beautician certification and thus began her career of many years of Pregmons Beauty Salon and she also worked for several years at St. Joseph’s Center with the newborns, prior to their adoption.   A faithful and devoted Catholic, Jeanne had a deep devotion for the rosary. She was a lifelong member of the Holy Name of Jesus Church, and following the consolidation of her church, she became a member of Saint Peter’s Cathedral. Her family was the center of her life, along with her dog, Holly Rose and she never missed attending an event in their lives.  Throughout the years, Jeanne played golf with the mixed league at Pine Hills, enjoyed shopping, going to auctions and loved watching game shows.  Above all, Jeanne was a kind and gentle lady.
