Mary "Jeanne" Eidson

Mary “Jeanne” (Boltz) Eidson, 88, of Mooresville, passed peacefully from this life, entering the gates of heaven, rejoining her beloved husband on Monday, February 21, 2022. She was born in Indianapolis on June 30, 1933, to the late William Abraham and Mary Jeannette (Haley) Boltz. One of four children, Jeanne was raised on the south side of Indy, where she attended Southport High School for three years before proudly graduating from Tech High School with the class of 1951. Introduced to a handsome young sailor named Jerry, the pair fell fast in love and were happily united in marriage on July 18, 1951. After Jerry’s honorable discharge from the United States Navy during the Korean War, they settled into life raising 6 beautiful kids. A member of the PTL 700 Club, she was employed as an accounting manager for Marsh Supermarkets, deservingly retiring after 25 years of dedicated service. After retirement, Jeanne and Jerry settled into the quiet life of Eddyville, KY on Lake Barkley. A tight knit and loving family, the ensemble regularly spent their time on local lakes boating, fishing, and water skiing. Christmas and birthdays were held high in Jeanne’s eyes. She consistently hosted holidays, also celebrating each birthday with the joy that came with the birth of every one of her children. A force to be reckoned with on the dance floor, she and Jerry knew how to cut a rug, thrilling onlookers as they made their rhythmic twists, turns, and dips. A woman of strong and steadfast faith, she was patriotic at heart holding her country near and dear. Hardworking and organized, Jeanne was a skillful woman, sewing an array of things from her kid’s clothes to dolls to books. She had a flair for interior decorating, often turning ordinary homes into works of art with her magic touch. Always put together and looking spectacular, she was a lady among ladies, taking the utmost pride in her appearance. A strong and fierce matriarch, she loved her family passionately and she leaves a void in their lives that will never be filled. Along with her parents, Jeanne was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Jerry Gene Eidson; daughter, Cynthia Lynn Eidson, and siblings, Shirley and William Boltz. She leaves behind her children, Jerry Gene “Dusty” Eidson, Jr. (Renee) of Midlothian, VA, Debra Lee Eidson of Camby, Sandra Kay Sachs (Jim) of Mooresville, Lori Eidson of Crown Point, and Lisa Eidson of Mooresville; sister, Clara Mae Breeden of Indianapolis, as well as 13 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel in Monrovia. Jeanne will be laid to rest next to her late husband in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Greenwood with a private Graveside Service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jeanne’s memory to the Morgan County Humane Society, 690 W Mitchell Ave, Martinsville, IN 46151, or the American cancer Society at www.cancer.org.
