Jeanne Daly

Jeanne Duncan Daly, a true artistic spirit and the hub of her family, died January 6, 2010, at home, marking the end of a hard-fought battle against inflammatory breast cancer.

 

Born Marian Jeanne Duncan in Jefferson City, Missouri, on May 4, 1951, to James Wayne and Josephine Duncan, Jeanne Daly never met a project she could not tackle.  She leaves a legacy of exquisite handmade prom dresses and dance costumes; giant paper mâché turnips; stained glass sconces; wood cuts and watercolors; sparkling and whimsical holiday trees; service on the Moberly School Board and commitment to education; and general magic.   She was a woman who designed her own house and then erected many of the wall studs herself to ensure it was ready by Christmas Day 1996 after her contractor called in sick.

 

Self-effacing and kind, Jeanne was well-loved by those she met at Inside Outlet, through her work as a docent at the University of Missouri’s Museum of Art and Archeology, through her service to the Assistance League and elsewhere, and most of all by her family.

 

Jeanne is survived by her husband, Dr. Michael Daly, her mother, her brother, James “Jim” Duncan of St. Louis, four children, Michael Daly, Kimberly Daly Tadrus, Kate Daly Pitzer and Mackenzie Daly, and a dozen grandchildren.

 

Her family extends sincere thanks to the medical professionals who provided her with excellent and compassionate care, and gratitude to those who were a part of her life and will carry her memory.

 

Jeanne very specifically requested that gifts in her honor be made to Museum Associates, Inc. of the Museum of Art and Archeology, at the following mailing address:  Museum of Art and Archeology, Jeanne Daly Gift Fund, 1 Pickard Hall, Columbia, Missouri  65211.

    Kimmie and family,
    Although I wasn’t fortunate to serve with Jeanne on the Moberly Brd. of Ed., it was Jeanne that first approached me about running for the brd. I admired her dedication to our district and her focus on academics. I know she always gave 100+% in everything she did. I know she encouraged each of her kids to dream big and fly! I truly admire that in her as a mother. Please know our thoughts are with each of you during this difficult time.
    Hold on to your wonderful memories of Jeanne!
    Lisa Vanderburg

    I feel so blessed to have known Jeanne and all of her family. She was always so kind to me and faithfully served on the Board of Edu. in Moberly in my earlier years of teaching. Jeanne also inspired me with her love for the arts as I, too, love all those things. I am thinking of the Daly family, especially Dr. Mike, who took care of my mother when she was so ill, and Kimmy, who takes care of me and all the S.Park kids every day! Your many friends and wonderful memories of Jeanne will help you through this difficult time.



  21. Jeff & Cindi Kelly on January 6, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    Dr. Daly and family, We are so sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. She sounded like she was an exceptional lady. Although I did not know her I remember her thoughtfulness in bringing you a meal to the hospital when you were delayed seeing patients in CCU. I appreciated how kind you were to myself and all of the other nurses and respected our opinions. I also appreciated how kind you were when we took our first daughter to you and encouraged us as first time parents. May God bless you and give you courage during this most difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.



  22. Sandra Neely on January 6, 2010 at 11:30 pm

    I am so stunned by this. I knew Jeanne thru her beautiful daughter, Kate. We worked at The MU Concert Series together. Kate’s parents would attend events and I enjoyed meeting them and getting to know them. Kate was so proud of her Mother and with good reason. She will be deeply missed by her family , friends and the lives of so many people that she touched. Kate, Don and I send our love. You were such a bright spot in our lives. Our prayers and love to the entire family. Sandra



  23. Cindy Daniel on January 7, 2010 at 12:09 am

    My heart was heavy when I heard the news this evening about “Momma Jeanne.” I have so many cherished memories since the night I first met her at a gifted parents’ meeting over 20 years ago…making bows, costumes, the New Kids Banner, her attempts to teach me to cook and to expand my vocabulary, her amazing holidays, South Beach, Kate’s 16th Birthday and wedding, Kim’s Crown, and Mac’s dance recitals. Her passion and dedication to her family and those she loved was extraordinary. All my love and condolences to Mike, Kate, Mac, Kim and Jo. Love, Cindy

    I was very sad to hear the news about Mama Jeanne. I have been thinking about her and the rest of the Daly family. Many of my best memories from Moberly were of times spent with the Daly clan. Christmas Mass and movies on Christmas Eve and Fat Tuesday feasts stand out in my mind like they were yesterday, but what I will never forget were the conversations, some surly, some funny, some thoughtful but always memorable. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Brent Daniel and Family

    Ode to Jeanne

    The first time I remember laying eyes on Jeanne Daly was at the Moberly Country Club swimming pool. She was keeping a subtle yet eagle eye on her lovely daughters while talking softly and animatedly to another woman as they were sunning themselves. There was something quite charismatic about the passion she exuded for her topic and in the way she would toss her head back as she laughed. I edged nearer and eventually introduced myself, for once doing more listening than talking. Somehow the topic turned to some supposedly “natural” appetite suppressant pills, which were part of a weight loss program offered in Moberly at that time. Ever on a quest for loss of weight, I was currently taking said pills. Without divulging that fact, I listened raptly as she told of her adventures of taking the pills to a lab, having them tested, and finding that they were mostly soy protein. Relieved because a)the pills seemed to work and b)I had been wondering if they were really natural, I knew right away that this Jeanne person was someone I had to get to know. From meeting her only once, she seemed to be an intelligent person with varied interests, a person of action, a person who sought and found answers…and I found this to be true of her for as long as I have known her.

    As it turned out, I wouldn’t really get the opportunity to know Jeanne well until I became the teacher of two of her brilliant and enchanting daughters. Because of Jeanne’s intense interest in her children, her belief in the value of good education, and her support of gifted education, this is when she and I became solid friends. Jeanne helped me in developing an outstanding team for the Missouri Problem Solving competition, and due to her influence, I also began encouraging students to enter the scenario writing component of the competition. Getting to know her daughter Kate, who is not only a talented writer, but also a unique gem of a person, was an education in itself. Out of six awards given each year, my MHSMMS students took either two or three of them every year for many years. Jeanne’s steady faith in me as a teacher made me become a better one, and that is something that will impact me forever.

    Jeanne, herself, was a problem solver. If she felt her friends needed her help, she was quick to offer, and she would find some way to make things better. My most vivid memory of Jeanne’s unique problem solving ability involved my husband. At that time he was relief captain of the President Buchanan, a merchant ship which had been “asked” to deliver medical supplies to the Persian Gulf during the Gulf War. Merchant ships are owned by private companies and are non-military; they have no weapons other than the captain has access to a pistol. During my husband’s time in the Gulf, scud missiles were flying everywhere, and the crew had no way to detect mines in the water. Needless to say, I was extremely worried, and when I voiced my concerns to Jeanne, she immediately asked what she could do to help. In spite of my serious anxiety, I had to laugh; of all my friends, only Jeanne would think that there was something she could actually do in such a situation. A day later, Jeanne called me and said that she had contacted a relative of hers who was in a monastery. He had organized for novenas, special prayers for nine consecutive days, for protection of my husband and his ship. These were being prayed by a group of monks around-the-clock. I was floored. Only Jeanne could have actually come up with the one thing that I believed might actually help. My husband and his crew left the Gulf unharmed, and I will never, ever forget that act of kindness, which sums up a major part of Jeanne’s personality…

    Jeanne had a wonderful sense of humor, and she laughed often and with great relish. I can only describe her loyalty for her friends and family as fierce and unwavering. She showed a sincere interest in my son and daughter, and one of her most touching qualities was that she seemed as proud of their successes as I always am. Had it not been for Jeanne and her daughter MacKenzie’s generosity, my daughter Anna would never have started playing the violin at age 6, which she still plays to this day at age 26. Jeanne would be right there in the front row at Anna’s recitals, handing her a bouquet afterwards. Jeanne loved good books and good conversation. She knew so much about so many things, and she could converse on any topic. I am so lucky for having known her.

    Jeanne had unique ideas and had to do things her own way, and she usually got her own way. She fought her illness in her own way, and there is one thing on which I would bet a year’s salary. Jeanne wanted to be there for her family for Christmas and New Year’s, and she was. Another bet I would make is that right now, Jeanne is somewhere talking softly and animatedly about something, while keeping a subtle yet eagle eye on her family. She is tossing her head back…and laughing with relish…

I know this is a difficult time for her family, especially for you Mike. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We all know that Jeanne has moved on to a better place, free of suffering and pain. Her test is over. It is those of us left behind in this imperfect world who still feel the pain and loss. However, we know that we too will be reunited in the future in that perfect place we know as heaven where there is no more sense of loss and suffering. Mike, I know you have strong faith and this knowledge and hope will carry you through these difficult times. Be assured we will remember you, Jeanne, and your family in our prayers. Let us know if we can do anything for you.

    Dear Michael and family,

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Jeanne. Your family is in my prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. She will be missed by so many. She always brought so much creativity and love to the world. She was a great family friend to myself and my mother (Margaret Hains) for so many years.

    I truly believe that Jeanne and yourself helped my mother shape me into the man I am today. It was always a joy for me to visit and spend time with the Daly’s. I still remember the hours of tutoring, help with school projects, and support that Jeanne gave me as I was growing up.

    My mother always thought very highly of Jeanne. She looked forward to their visits when she cleaned for you. I can still remember my mother saying if it was not for them visiting she could clean the Daly’s house in half the time. However she would not enjoy it near as much

    With deepest sympathy,

    George Hains
    New York, NY

    Our most sincere condolences are with all of the Dalys at this time. Our family has such wonderful memories of Jeanne, Mac (and the rest of the family), from dance costumes, drama club entries, and science fair projects to shopping for Homecoming outfits, sleepovers and many a conversation on everything education to writing, books, music, and numerous other topics. We will greatly miss Kailey’s “other mom” but hold on to all those priceless memories from our years together in Moberly.

    Dr. Daly-I think of you often. I’ve wondered how Jeanne was doing. I understand she put up a great fight, with much spunk. That’s Jeanne. I will always think of both of you with fondness and respect. Peace and Strength to you. I know you loved her so. Joy

    Marin shared the loss of her Grandmother with the whole class today. The students were very sad. They remembered her from the Bowfire trip and wanted me to send their sympathies. Her memory will live on. Please know she touched many lives and hearts here at South Park. Sincerely, Mrs. Glenna Greene and Class

  97. Lisa Isaacson on January 13, 2010 at 4:38 pm

    I didn’t know Jeanne, but I’m a patient of Dr. Daly’s. Her obituary in the Tribune made me wish I had known her. Dr. Daly speaks with great pride and love about his family, and that lets me know she was special, also. It’s sad the world has lost this person. I’ll be thinking about you all as you put your lives back together.



  98. Kailey (Gordon) Fleming on January 13, 2010 at 6:05 pm

    Kimmy (and Family), Although I did not know your mother, I do know where you got your beautiful smile and charm. I lost my mother also and her name was also Jeanne. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless. Marla



  102. Anne Schmidt on January 16, 2010 at 12:30 am

    My deepest sympathies to you all in the loss of your dearest Jeanne. I worked with you, Dr. Daly, on the Palliative Care team when it began at BHC.



  103. Katie Roberts (Cuevas) on January 17, 2010 at 8:40 pm

    I worked with Jeanne from the time that Inside Outlet opened until four years later, when I moved to St. Louis. I remember being intimidated by Jeanne at first, but later felt very inspired by her. She had such wonderful stories! She was so brave in pursuing everything that was interested in. She talked about her daughters all of the time, and never missed an opportunity to share how proud she was. I am truly sorry for your loss. She impacted everyone that she encountered, including me. I am lucky to have know such a strong woman!



  104. Chuck Renn on January 17, 2010 at 9:29 pm

    To Aunt Sis, Cousin Jim, Mike, Kim, Kate and Mac,
    My memories of Jean are as fresh as yesterday. She was a wonderful cousin and dear friend. I regret that I was not more involved in her life over the past years. However, each of you have been reason for Jean and I to have reconnected. I thank you for that and offer each of you my deepest sympathy in your loss. My God bless you with His comfort and strength.



  105. Connie Mitchell on January 18, 2010 at 4:47 pm

    Mike, our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Jeanne was a very special wife, mother, and a friend to all. Over the years we have lost contact but I still remember her vivacious laughter and how willing she was to help others. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

  107. Pam (Guinnip) Joiner on January 21, 2010 at 4:52 pm

    Words escape me…Jeanne was a wonderful, caring person! She gave so much of herself to everyone. I think it was ’95 or ’96, Jeanne freely gave of her time and talents with my students. She brought in art kits from the St. Louis Art Museum and even took us on a field trip and talked her brother into leading us around! We had an awesome time! Another special memory of that year was when she procured free tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet and bought every student muffins and hot cocoa afterwards! The students loved her! It was so precious knowing how much she loved them as well. I wish my own kids had known her. Cherish the memories. Hold them, and each other, close to your heart! With my sincerest sympathy in your loss.
