1923 – 2019
Jeannie Osborn, 95, of Norman went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 in Edmond, OK. She was born October 31, 1923 in Hominy, Oklahoma to Samuel H. Kneese and Ada Belle Collins Kneese.
Jeannie grew up in Oklahoma and during World War II served in a “Rosie the Riveter” capacity on aircraft maintenance at McDonnell Douglas in Tulsa. She then went to nursing school, becoming highly educated with not only a Bachelor’s Degree, but three Master’s Degrees from the University of Oklahoma and several graduate and National certifications. Moreover, she returned to college in her later years to study Spanish. She worked as a Registered Nurse, retiring when she was in her late eighty’s.
A faithful and devout Christian and prayer warrior, she was a very active Parishioner of Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, where she was involved in numerous ministries. She also traveled to Southeast Asia proclaiming the Gospel on a mission trip.

Mason, Trevor Long and wife Virginia, and Meghan Freeman and husband David, and three great-grandchildren, Stephen Zebediah Long, Zoe’ Sophia Long and Sully Thomas Freeman.
