Jeanne Marie's obituary as it appears in The Rockland Journal:
Jeanne Marie Baer (nee Keahon) passed away December 23, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 80. Jeanne Marie was born in Teaneck, New Jersey to Harold Vincent Keahon and Ethel Burlington on January 9, 1931. She was raised in Pearl River and graduated from Pearl River High School in 1948. She went on to the College of Mount St Vincent and obtained a Degree in Nursing.
She is survived by her son, Robert Nirenberg of Thousand Oaks, California; two grandchildren, Jennifer and Hillary Nirenberg, four stepchildren, John and Lloyd Nirenberg, Adrian Lalonde and Bruce Baer. She is also survived by her brother, Jeffrey Keahon, and two sisters, Janice Keahon and Julianne Wiley, all of Pearl River.
Jeanne Marie was a nurse, a mother, a grandmother and a "big sister." She spent her life looking after other people whether they were patients, family or friends. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

As the obituary states, Jeanne Marie did spend her life looking after people as well as animals. She was a great animal lover and I was happy to support her animal charity in Palms Springs. Also, she went out of her way to visit Carol and me when we were living in Myrtle Beach, SC, flying in from California. I enjoyed my visit with her and Jeffrey in Palm Springs in 2000. She was a gracious hostess and went out of her way to plan many events for me to enjoy there.

Our deepest sympathy to Jeffrey, Janice and Julianne, and to Jeanne Marie's son Robert and to her grandchildren, and to all her extended family. She will be remembered with love as a generous and giving person, a lover of animals, a fun personality with more than a touch of Auntie Mame in her.

To my cousins, Janice,Julianne and Jefferey, I send my sincere condolences in the loss of Jeanne Marie on December 23rd.
Though I have not seen her in many years, I will always remember her as a beautiful, interesting, flamboyant older cousin, who had a wonderful talent for telling the most exciting tales of her life experiences, as well describing the interesting places she had traveled to.
I am sure the positive energy that she brought to every encounter will be missed by all her family and friends.
My husband Gary joins me in these sentiments.

Fond Memories
When Jeanne Marie was living in New York City with her husband Sam Baer, she lived not too far from me, and we would periodically meet. She and Sam would take me out to dinner at neighboring restaurants. She was always doing something like sending me health information or dropping off some home-made bread. And she was always coming and going in a swirl of glamor. She was a great socializer and would regale me with stories of the notable New Yorkers she knew. Her socializing continued when Jeanne Marie moved to Palm Springs, where she had a grand time making new friends. She loved Palm Springs, and brought her special energies there just as she had to the New York scene.
Jeanne's other side was her caring side - she was a nurse, a motherer, a lover of animals. I remember the cacophany of little dogs and birds that would greet me whenever I visited! She was like a mother to her younger brother and sisters after their mother died. In later years, she'd be forever doing something for one or another of her relatives -- for her niece Brenda and her nephews Andrew and Shane, and for her cousin Carol's daughter Debbie, when she moved to town. We all had standing invitations to visit her in Palm Springs, and some of us did. She loved her Aunt Alice (my mother), and always made a point of staying in touch with her.
Farewell Jeanne Marie, and we will not forget your kindness and your joi de vivre.
