On May, 13, 2021, Jean (Jeannie) Yvonne Albertson (Burchfield), born in Brawley, California on April 23rd, 1944, age 77, passed away calmly, surrounded by her loving family members in La Mesa, California.
Jeannie went to Lakewood High School in the desert in Southern Californian where she spent most of her childhood. Jeannie's notable careers were as an insurance agent, an administrative assistant, a waitress, a house mover and demolition contractor, to include commercial properties (she liked to call herself home wrecker, in jest). She taught country line and swing dancing, wrote several dancing books and ran PJ's Country Dancers, a travelling line dancing team. Jeannie had won numerous dancing awards as well as several quilting awards which she had made for charities.
Jeannie was the matriarch in her family. The sensitive, confident and smart person that family and friends came to for love, companionship, comfort, laughter, and gave advice in many areas to include life, business, quilting, sewing and crafts. She was the well mannered, caring friend to her friends and neighbors. She had many passions. The ones that have stood out the most were being around family and friends, Music, Color, dancing, being around people, cooking, quilting, sewing (especially with her friends), playing mexican train (dominoes), watching tennis, reading and watching fiction, animated movies. She loved putting on BBQ’s/holiday/dinner parties for her friends and family. She was a very generous soul.
