Thelma "Jeanne" Harrouff

April 3, 1937 - May 15, 2018

Thelma "Jeanne" Harrouff of St. James, Missouri passed away on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at the St. James Living Center at the age of 81. Jeanne was born under the Gasconade River Bridge in Maries County, Missouri on April 3, 1937 to the late John and Ethel (Williamson) Harrouff. Jeanne was a graduate of John F. Hodge High School class of 1954, and with her diploma in hand, and a great recommendation to Laclede Steel Company by Louis Donati, Jeanne set off to St. Louis; she was hired for the job and spent the next 33 years selling Laclede wire all over the world. Jeanne loved living in the city, she never married, but loved her life; she enjoyed The Muny, The Fabulous Fox Theater, ice skating in the park, eating out in her favorite restaurants, and just being among the hustle and bustle that the city life had to offer. A few years after retiring Jeanne made the move to St. James to be near her sister, and her mother. In the more rural setting of St. James, Jeanne adapted well and took up flea marketing, and antiquing, she loved both, and the beautiful treasures that she found. She also really enjoyed the scenery, the birds, the rivers and streams, and the trees. Jeanne would drive anywhere but stayed off the main highways so she could enjoy the beauty of the ride. She also was an animal lover, but really preferred cats. She was a loving and devoted sister, and friend, she will be greatly missed. Thelma "Jeanne" Harrouff is survived by her sister, Marjorie Keeney and husband Ray, of St. James, Missouri, and special friends, Gary and Terri Mendenhall. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Ethel Harrouff. Funeral services will be on Friday, May 18, 2018 at 11:00AM at the St. James Chapel of the James & Gahr Mortuary with Alan Wynn officiating. Internment will be at the St. James Cemetery.
