Jeanne Elizabeth Woodson Labadie, 95, moved to Heaven on August 3, 2013. Born November 14, 1917, to Ethel and Charles Woodson, Jeanne spent her early years in Bakersfield, California, where she excelled in dance and art. Upon receiving a scholarship to Chouinard Art Institute , she moved to Los Angeles where she met her husband and fellow-artist, George Sherman Labadie. Following graduation, Jeanne worked as a Fashion Illustrator and then as a homemaker raising their two children, John and Lynn. Jeanne was an excellent watercolorist, and she and her husband enjoyed outdoor painting throughout California and the Southwest. She was also an avid reader and crossword puzzler, and took pleasure in great music, good friends, and her devoted family. Her husband of 63 years, George Labadie, preceded her to heaven. She will be missed by her children, John Labadie and Lynn Todd, as well as her six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Jeanne is buried at Oakwood Memorial Park, Chatsworth.
