Jeane Neuman

Jeane Marie Neuman, 95, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2026, in her room at Brightview Senior Living in Catonsville, Maryland. Affectionately known to many as Ms. Jeane, she was born on Halloween in 1931 and lived a full life.

Jeane lived most of her life in Catonsville. Her education took her from high school at Mount DeSales Academy to graduation from the College of Notre Dame and a master’s degree in education from the University of Southern California. Her studies also included time in Madrid, Spain.

Jeane spent several years in the convent in Tampa, Florida, where she taught grade school. After returning home, she taught Spanish and French at Howard High School for over 25 years, during which time she was fluent in four languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. In retirement, she worked part-time as a travel agent for Grand Circle Travel Agency.

Jeane loved traveling all over the world. Her trips included Japan, Egypt, Russia, China, India, South America, Spain, France, Mexico, and all over the United States and Canada. She enjoyed warm weather and sandy beaches.

Jeane stayed active by swimming several days a week and walking often around the neighborhood. She loved dogs, particularly German Shepherds, and named many of hers Elsa. Her quieter pleasures included reading books, primarily about travel and World War II history, watching public television, and listening to classical music on television and the radio.

Jeane never married and had no children. She is survived by nephews Michael J. Neuman (Fran) and Mark A. Neuman (Samantha) and niece Marianne Phelan, as well as 10 great-nieces and great-nephews and 5 great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews. Jeane was preceded in death by her father Jerome Conrad Neuman, mother Margaret Quinlan Neuman, and brother Jerome Carroll Neuman.
