Jeanne Elizabeth Reynolds Gasser surrounded by those she loved, entered her eternal home on Friday, May 24, 2024.  Jeanne was born on August 1, 1926, in Baraboo, WI, to Emmet and Jennie Reynolds.  She lived in Lake Delton, WI, and graduated from Wisconsin Dells High School.  She met and married Wallace Swets, Jr. on June 28, 1952, and moved into a lovely home that he built for her.  A son, Paul Wallace Swets, was born on January 19, 1954.  In August of 1954, Jeanne, Wallace, and Paul all contracted poliomyelitis. Paul recovered fine and Jeanne lived a fairly normal life after many months of therapy.  On March 22, 1955, she gave birth to their son Peter John Swets.  In 1958, after a long struggle, Wallace passed away from the effects of polio.

In 1959, Jeanne met and married Donald Gasser.  In 1960, they moved to the Gasser family farm in Lodi, WI.  Shortly after, on August 31, 1960, she gave birth to their son, Brian Donald Gasser.  Don and Jeanne started spending winters in Arizona in 1990.  In Arizona, Jeanne was very involved in the ministry of music in the Chapel of Desert Sun Condominiums where she played piano and sang for many years.  She also led a Bible study for 13 years at Desert Sun.  Jeanne gave her life to Jesus Christ in her mid-50s and spent much time in Bible study, played piano and organ in church for 35 years.  She was a member of the Lake Wisconsin Evangelical Free Church in Lodi, WI, which she and Don helped start in 1972. Don and Jeanne lived on the family farm until Don passed away in 2019 from the effects of dementia.  Jeanne's family moved her to Prairie du Sac, WI, where she lived out her life.

Jeanne loved her flower gardens, knitting, teaching bible study, her cat (Jett) and spending time with family and friends.  She was a Christian, dedicated mother, mentor, and special lady to many.
