Jeanne (Mikkelson) Brown was born on October 29, 1960, in Loveland Colorado. She passed away on December 10, 2023, from cancer. Jeanne was only 63 years of age.
Jeanne is survived by her daughter Chelsea Brown and her husband Ian Dunlap, her sister Jolene Feld, nephews Ryan and Matthew Procella, chosen sister Susan (Wells) Smith, her two cats Lily and Snowball and a family of close, loving friends who will feel her loss. She was predeceased by her daughter Susan Nicole Brown, and sisters Jacueline (Mikkelson) Foley and Jill Mikkelson and chosen sister Sue Jackman.
Jeanne graduated from Longmont High School in 1979 where she enjoyed spending time with her close circle of friends and being a member of the Trojanettes drill team. Following her love of numbers and problem solving, she spent many years as a bookkeeper. In 1997 she expanded her education and earned a degree in accounting, graduating from University of Phoenix in 2002. In 2011 she graduated from Regis University earning a Master of Business Administration advancing her career to the position of Controller for Caddis Capital Investment.
As a dedicated mother, Jeanne spent countless hours with Chelsea at Westernaires and enjoying their horses Warlock and Cedar. She and Chelsea were truly a team through everything that life offered to them both. Her love of nature took her camping and travelling, especially enjoying any mountain, lake and ocean. Jeanne could often be found enjoying concerts of many genres, learning new methods of painting and crafts or catching up with friends trying new restaurants, happy hours, or anything social.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue (https://www.rmfr-colorado.org/), Denver Share Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support (www.denvershare.org) or an organization that you are passionate about in Jeanne's name. Chelsea requests that you then have a glass of wine in her honor.
Jeanne will be remembered for her kindness and thoughtfulness to others, her giggle and her fervor for adventures that life provided. We love you, Jeanne.
A Celebration of Life for Jeanne will be held in the spring, and we will notify friends and family.
