She was born November 30, 1925, in Shelbyville, the daughter of Cecil A. and Dorothy (Buckler) Cockerham. On March 24, 1950, she married Kenneth C.

Jeane graduated in 1943 from Shelbyville High School. She then worked as a payroll clerk/supervisor at KCL for many years. She was a very active lifelong member of the First Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir with her mother and sister. Her love of singing took her to many area churches, as well as an occasional engagement on local radio. Jeane and Kenneth formerly owned and operated King’s Grocery for 42 years. Many Junior High students enjoyed the soda fountain and lunchtime burgers with Jeane’s ever-present smile. She was an avid reader and read the entire Bible. As a survivor, Jeane enjoyed volunteering for the American Cancer Society, where she participated in the walks and assisted in sending memorial acknowledgement cards. She was very social and loved visiting with friends and family. She and Earl spent 20 years as Florida snowbirds; potluck dinners, dances, boat rides and fishing as favorite pastimes. Private graveside services will be conducted at Forest Hill Cemetery in Shelbyville. Services have been entrusted to Freeman Family Funeral Homes and Crematory, 819 S. Harrison St. in Shelbyville. The family wishes to thank the staff at McKay Manor for their compassion, kindness and loving care of Jeane. Memorial contributions may be made to Premier Hospice, 11550 N.
