Jeanne Rena McKeithen Evans was born June 15, 1960 in Columbia, La to the union of her parents, Venice McKeithen and Joann Bailes McKeithen and passed from this life January 27, 2026. Jeanne was a sister who was real. What you saw is what you got. She wore the title of aunt, friend, caregiver, and encourager who had a genuine love of people of all walks of life. Jeanne was no stranger to hard work whether it was in her yard or with her dogs and chickens. Even though Jeanne wasn't scared of hard work she usually done things the "Jeanne way" and it most always worked out. God took Jeanne by the hand and helped her understand things we could not communicate to her. As her and Paul looked as if they were going under, God time and time again stepped in and done something great. Jeanne not only had a beautiful heart, she was beautiful on the inside out. Jeanne taught life lessons on how to forgive and love people in spite of themselves. We were truly amazed at how she could forgive people who tried to use her. Jeanne completed our family and now in Heaven, "The best is yet to come" and thank you Jesus for sharing her with us.

Ecc. 3:11 He hath everything beautiful in his time!

Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Paul; and two brothers, Joe Venis McKeithen and James Isaac McKeithen. Those left to cherish her memory are her step father, Wayne Nelson; two brothers, Jack McKeithen (Susan), Jim McKeithen (Gaye); her sister-in-law, Carol McKeithen; as well as a host of family and friends.

Pallbearers will include Michael McKeithen, Jack McKeithen, Isaac McKeithen, Stephen McKeithen, Kris McKeithen and Jesse McKeithen.
