Jeanne was born to Nathan and Cora (Michaelson) Olson on June 19, 1936 in Madison, Minnesota. She was raised there and graduated from Madison High School. She attended Mankato State College and graduated with an Education Degree. Her first teaching job was in Rialto, California teaching Kindergartners. Later in life she continued her education and received a Master’s Degree in Special Education. She continued her teaching career after the family moved to Georgia in 1974.
After College, Jeanne married her High School Sweetheart, Rudolph (Rudy) Vaala. They grew up together and were acquainted since Kindergarten. She played the French Horn in the band and worked at the local newspaper while in High School. She loved Ice Skating and Singing among other activities. Her two children are Daniel W. Vaala and Julie V. Noland. Camping trips with the family and visits to the relatives were always enjoyed as the kids were growing up. Attending church was an important part of her life.
