Daughter, sister, caregiver, cousin, aunt, wife, nurse, mom, grandma and fantastic friend. In loving memory, we celebrate Louanna Jean Humphrey Forness, 77.
Known affectionally as Jeanie, Ms. Humphrey, Louanna, Mrs. Forness, Mom, Aunt Jeanie, Cousin Jeanie, Lou, Nurse Forness, Medic Forness and Grammy. She passed peacefully in her sleep, being excellently cared for, at Madison County Memorial Hospital of natural causes on Wednesday, May 13, 2020.
Dedicated to the arts, nature, humanity and being of service, she was part of many activities in her adopted hometown of Madison. United Methodist Women's Group, Garden Club, Quilting Circle and Ladies Bridge to name a few. Her legacy of service was vast and her personal mantra of "everyone is someone's baby—what can we do to help?" was simply exquisite.
This glorious ideology is lovingly carried on by her devoted family: sister, three daughters, two granddaughters, as well as numerous extended family and friends.
Her memorial service is "to be determined" in these changing times. In her honor please invest in Mother Earth. Planting trees, fruits, vegetables, flowers and the seeds of love, kindness and compassion in each other.
