She was born in Scott City, Kansas, on July 3, 1949, to Dwain and Marguerite (Goering) Meisenheimer.
Her career as a registered nurse, which began after her graduation from the Wesley School of Nursing, was a testament to her caring spirit. She spent many years at Hunter Health Clinic, an organization dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of everyone in the community. As Wichita’s first Federally Qualified Health Center and the only Urban Indian Health Program in Kansas, her work there allowed her to provide compassionate care to those in the greatest need.
Jeanie’s commitme nt to others extended beyond her profession. She was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and she and her husband, Richard, spent much of their time volunteering. In her personal time, her hobbies included bowling, researching her family’s genealogy, and playing card games. She was also an avid collector of antique dolls, and, above all, cherished time spent with her family. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Bob Meisenheimer.
Jeanie’s memory will be lovingly cherished by her survi ving family. She is survived by he r d e v o ted husband of 54 years, Richard Reeves, whom she married on July 31, 1971.
