Jeanne was a great Friend to all! She treated each of us with kindness, joy and compassion.  I loved going to the Bart Christmas Lunches in December of each year, working on Reunions together, chatting on the phone and sending messages during the years. Jeanne loved to sing! Her talent was amazing. Your faith helped you deal with life's struggles. Your courage was stronge. You will be missed. Julia

Jeanne always brought happiness, positivity and energy into any space she entered.   I have wonderful memories of the many hours we spent in the alto section together as part of Ms. Sneary's Triple Trio. Jeanne loved her family, and had a special place in her heart for Heidi, her sister with Down Syndrome. She brought joy to everyone whose life she touched. RIP, dear friend.  xo Fergy

If any one classmate could be described as the symbol of the Mt. Lebanon H.S. Class of 1962, it would be Jeanne Heid Bereznicki.  Jeanne loved the Class of ’62 and was always ready and willing to do whatever was needed in support of Class activities – and especially reunions.  Jeanne was a charter member of the Reunion Committee and always willing to take on more than her share of responsibilities to assure successful reunions and optimize attendance – no small task since we have had a reunion every 5 years since graduation!  In addition to arranging the photographer and organizing the Sunday Prayer Breakfasts, Jeanne could be found decorating for our Friday Night at the Rec and Picnic activities, helping select the dinner/dance music and then greeting everyone with her great smile at the Saturday Night Dinner/Dance reception table. A number of years ago Jeanne and I started an annual Christmas Lunch with Bart (special classmate Barton Will – the class disc jockey and former neighbor of Jeanne’s).  At first it was just Jeanne, Bart and I, but over time it grew to include about a dozen classmates.  Jeanne made it a point to be at every Christmas Lunch.  Even when declining health made it physically very difficult, she came with the help of friends Cindy and Amy. Perhaps her most memorable contribution was made near graduation day when she wrote the lyrics to our Class Song to the music of “Moon River”.  Her lyrics appear below. Classmate Fred Sargent described her passing as “A beautiful light went out”. We Bid You – Goodbye Jeanne.  Rest in peace. George Watt MT. LEBANON H.S. 1962 CLASS SONG We’re Leaving High School Days are Through In June, Our Year of ’62. Our Fond Memories Remind us of Our Dear Alma Mater of Gold And Blue. Teams Fighting for a Victory, Ours Would So Many Times Succeed. So, as Our Days Here Finally End, We Always Will Defend Our Dear Mt. Lebanon High We Bid You – Goodbye.    Tune:  Moon River by Henry Mancini Words: Jeanné Heid Bereznicki

It's hard to believe that Jeanne is gone.  I remember her from H.S. as if it were only last year.  Friendly, vivacious, bright, and as pretty in the 21st Century as she was in 1962!  It was always a pleasure to see her, and I hope our spirits cross in the afterlife.

Jeanne had a strong sense of kindness for everyone! She had a way of making every student at Mt. Lebanon High School feel accepted.  Her smile was geunine. A Voice that stood alone, creativity and talent  to write Songs for our class.  I will miss you dear Friend  

I love you, Mwem!  You are the best mother a daughter could ever have.  I miss you!
