Jeanne Haroldson, age 74, passed away peacefully at Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital on October 15, 2018 after a brief battle with pneumonia.  Jeanne was born August 12, 1944 in Columbus, WI to Waldo and Elaine Leyson.   She graduated from Columbus High School in 1962.  She met her husband, Dale, at Club 18 in 1968 and they were married in 1969.

She is survived by her husband, Dale Haroldson, two children Derek (Sarah) and Dana Haroldson; sisters, Mary Rothschild and Barb Salveson and a brother David Leyson (Nancy), two grandchildren (Leah and Ben) and many nieces and nephews.  Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents Waldo and Elaine Leyson (Columbus, WI), her sister Patty Leyson (Columbus), and her brother Richard Leyson (Columbus, WI).

Jeanne's biggest joy in her life was entertaining people and making other people happy.  She always put the needs of others before herself and would do anything for anyone.  Jeanne was an active member at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prairie du Sac, WI.  Jeanne was a loving mother, wife, and friend to many.  She loved animals, especially her cat Snickers and her daughter's cat Sophie.
