Service Details

Jeanne Marie Calder, passed away October 15, 2018 at the Norwalk Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. She was 80 years old.

Jeanne was born February 25, 1938 in Cañon City, Colorado to Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Collette. She was married at a young age to Charles Edward Taylor (now deceased). Her desire for a large family was quickly realized and she devoted much of her life to raising their seven children.

Jeanne had an unrivaled work ethic and regarded any endeavor as a pleasure. She was employed in a number of managerial roles over the years to help contribute to the demands of a large family. In recent years, she thrived in the management of a large storage facility on the southside of Des Moines.

She loved gatherings with family and friends, especially over the holidays and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In her limited spare time, Jeanne enjoyed walks on the beach, sailing, watching old western movies and gardening.

Jeanne is survived by her seven children, Deborah Ferreira, Charles Taylor Jr., Mary Theresa Tillson, Laura Taylor, Joseph Taylor, James Taylor and Julie Phipps along with her step-children, many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her second husband, Ronald Calder.
