HURLEY, Wis. — Jeanne C. Thomas, 78, of Gile, lost her battle with cancer on Oct. 3, 2022, at her home.

She was born on Nov. 1, 1943, in Lake City, Florida, to Hugh and Matilee (Flynn) Casper. She was the oldest of eight children.

They then moved north to Wisconsin, where they spent the rest of their days. Jeanne loved to be outside in the sun, whether it was working with her flowers or riding on a motorcycle. She volunteered much of her time at the local food pantry, Lions club and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Hurley.

She is loved dearly by her husband; Bill ,; children, Dawn Maria, Jimmy (Silvia), William Jr. (Jill), Carl, Stacy (Francis), and Richard (Ann); brothers and sisters, Jay Hughes Jr., Bill Taylor, Judith Ann, James Theodore “Ted”, John Philip and Patricia Ann; 16 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
