COPENHAGEN, NY ~ Jeanne I. Seamans, 80, a resident of Copenhagen Happy Achers, 2449 Stoddard Rd., died unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 27, 2015 in the Emergency Room of Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville, where she had been taken after being stricken at home.
Born December 23, 1934 in Adams, NY, a twin daughter of Kent A. and Ethel C. Tryon Spencer, she was educated in Belleville and Sandy Creek schools and received her G.E.D. in 1993.

Throughout her life Jeanne liked to travel and she particularly enjoyed knitting, especially knitting baby sets to help raise money for various causes at the Lowville American Legion, and knitting dish clothes to give them away for birthdays and to friends at her church. One of her fondest activities during her later years was participating in “Friday Morning Get Together” with the girls at Gail Parker’s in Copenhagen.
