Jeanne Lyn (Gregg) Holbrook, 60, of Alexandria, died Saturday, August 3, 2024, at home with family by her side. She was born February 16, 1964, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio to Phillip R. Gregg of Vanatta, Ohio, and Christa E. (Ellas) Mays of Alexandria, Ohio.

She graduated from Utica High School in 1982 and continued her education at The Ohio State University. She achieved a Bachelor of Science Education Degree in 1996 and Masters of Education Degree in 1998.

Jeanne worked as an educator for twenty-four years in Columbus Public and Newark City Schools. She worked in the classroom teaching various grade levels of children and finished her career in 2024 as a Title 1 Reading Specialist. She supported her family and community sharing active roles with Soccer, T Ball, 4H, Cooking for Christ, Cheerleading, Musicals, and Northridge Band. She enjoyed the outdoors, sports, cooking, flowers, reading books, her porch swing, pets, sewing, and helping others.

She treasured her family and friends unconditionally. She enjoyed trips to the beach and travel to new unexplored destinations. Planned or spur-of-the-moment travel adventures were cherished by air, land, and sea.

Jeanne was a kind, caring, devoted wife and loving mother. She was a friend with a contagious smile and personality like no other. Jeanne always had an ear to listen and desired to make someone's day brighter. She attended many events, sports, or after-school activities supporting her children and friends. She was a true source of inspiration. Her passion for helping others will be truly missed.

Everyone who remembers Jeanne is asked to take a part of her memory in their own unique way. Whether playing golf or hand-in-foot over cards, planning a trip with loved ones, raising a glass of Mike's Hard Lemonade or a cream-only coffee, tending to a garden, or sewing together a project. Her spirit forever remains with us.

She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Gary Holbrook; children, Aspen Holbrook and Luci (Roland Roshon) Holbrook; mother, Christa Mays; sister, Sherry (Bill) Lehman; brother, Gary Gregg; stepmother, Barbra (Dunlap) Gregg'; numerous stepbrothers and sisters; nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles; special friend Bianca (Scheidler) Horsley and family; beloved Dachshund pet Charlie; and grand pups, Blue and Olive.

She was preceded in death by her father, Phil Gregg; stepfather, Chuck Mays; grandparents, Wilbur and Freda Gregg and John and Midge Ellas.
