Ms. Baucom was born December 24, 1941 in Cabarrus County, the only child of William C. and Virginia Eudy Barbee. Jeanne retired from Cabarrus County Group Homes.

One of her greatest passions were schnauzers and the Schnauzer Rescue. Her family was the most important thing to her and Jeanne cherished the time she spent with each one of them. She will be sorely missed by all that knew and loved her.

Survivors include her three daughters, Jeanne Lambert and husband, Roger, Jodie Helms and husband, Carl, all of Concord and Jennifer Baucom and finace, Brent Melton of Kannapolis; grandchildren, Breanna Dove Tucker and Alayna Marie Tucker and great-grandson, Koen.

Memorials may be made to the NC Schnauzer Rescue, P.O. Box 1147, Holly Springs, NC 27540.
