Jeane was born Feb. 23, 1930, in Harrisburg to Eugene and Lura Casebier Williams. She was a member of Main and 13th Church of Christ. Jeane was a godly woman who served as an example and influence for many people. Everyone knew her for always working in her yard, and she took great pride in keeping her yard immaculate.

Jeane loved her family and her God and was a humble servant for both.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Wendell E. Bennett.
