She was raised in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan on the family farm. She married Harvey Hamm in October 1966 and moved to Hillmond, Saskatchewan, where Harvey had a job with Pioneer Grain.

They retired to their cabin at Pelican Point outside of Bashaw. Jeanne was a very crafty person who enjoyed many hobbies and working with her hands. Some of the many things she enjoyed were sewing, scrapbooking, knitting, dying silk, making jewellery, ceramics and quilting. She started the Daysland chapter of the Red Hat society called the Daysland Divas and enjoyed volunteering her time in the community. In recent years Jeanne discovered her green thumb and her love of gardening. Jeanne loved her children and her grandchildren. The grandchildren have many fond memories of spending time with their grandma at the lake and Daysland. Sleepovers were a fairly common occurrence at Grandma's house. Harvey and Jeanne travelled extensively and enjoyed many excursions to destinations all over the world. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Harvey; daughter Tracy Guhle and children Alicia, Kurt and Dana; son Jeff (Kim) and children Amanda and Kevin; daughter Dianne Boettcher and children Laken (Lee) and Kyle; son Greg (Pat) and children Dean, Emma, Scott, Sarah and Adam; brothers Ron (Kat) Turgeon and Lyle (Bev) Turgeon; and sister Nadine Turgeon (Mark Woodman).
