Jeanne V. Gasser

Jeanne V. Gasser, age 98, a long-time resident of Dover, passed away Thursday, October 6, 2016, in Park Village at Dover.

Born August 9, 1918, at Justus, she was a daughter of the late Harvey and Ethel Stuck Freshour. Jeanne graduated from Brewster High School in 1936, and went on to attend beauty school at Canton. She met Glenn A. Gasser at a dance in Dover's Spanish Ballroom, and the couple were married on April 13, 1940. They reared two children, operated the family's dairy farm, and shared fifty-one years of marriage prior to Glenn's passing on October 7, 1991. Jeanne was also employed by the J.C. Penney Co. at Dover from which she retired.

She was a member of Dover's First Moravian Church and the church's Women's Fellowship. Jeanne was devoted to her family, and she had a ready smile. Some of her favorite pastimes were going dancing (sometimes three or four times a week), traveling and shoe-shopping.

Besides her parents and her husband, Glenn, her sisters, Miriam Glee Bayer and Marilyn "Tootie" Cook; and her brother, Glenn "Bud" Freshour, preceded Jeanne in death.
