Jeanne (Mulvaney) Hand

ALEXANDRIA, IN – Jeanne (Mulvaney) Hand, 90, met her Savior face to face from her home on Monday, July 4, 2022, following a brief illness. She was born on January 7, 1932, in Alexandria to Raymond and Esther (Berry) Mulvaney and lived here all her lifetime. She was a graduate of Alexandria High School-Class of 1949. In the 1960’s, Jeanne worked at the former Warner Press in Anderson. She later worked in the cafeteria at the former Marie Thurston Elementary School in Alexandria for 18 years, retiring in 1991. She has been an active member of Alexandria First Baptist Church since 1953. Jeanne was involved in the S.A.L.T. Society, the Joy Sunday School class, Body Recall and the American Baptist Women’s Missionary organization. Jeanne’s life revolved around her faith, her husband and her family. She was known to hug anyone and everyone within hugging distance. Her talents were words, music, sewing, crocheting, baking and cake decorating. She was a skilled seamstress and will be fondly remembered for the beautiful handmade wedding gowns and formals that she crafted for her family. We rejoice in her hearing her Lord say ”Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Survivors: Husband of 73 years-Kenneth G.
