Jeanne Evans Forsberg (98) died peacefully at her home on April 23, 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born on February 24, 1920 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Fred A. Evans and Esther E. Evans. Jeanne married Harold Joseph Forsberg in the Salt Lake Temple on January 15, 1942. They both attended East High School and had a close and loyal companionship during their 64 years of marriage. Harold and Jeanne were great supporters of University of Utah activities and athletics, and Jeanne worked for many years at the "U" with her sister Effie Lu. Harold died in 2006.
Jeanne was always out of bed at the crack of dawn looking beautiful and getting everything going for the day! She was known for her beautiful silver hair, red lipstick, and winning smile. She loved her family and always supported the various school and sports activities for all three generations. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints and followed the Savior's example of service to others. Family Sunday dinners were important and there was always room for extras. She was the ultimate hostess, mother, and friend.
Her children are Stephan (deceased), Lary Ann Bateman (Brent), Shellee Neff (Mark), and Richard (Shauna, deceased). Jeanne is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.
