On August 24th. I didn't realise. I subscribed to her YouTube channel and absolutely loved her motivational speeches, and gentle, clean, genuine humour. Her last pop-up was only 3 weeks earlier and she was as full of energy as ever. She'll be very much missed. www.youtube.com/user/JeanneRobertsonwww.jeannerobertson.com/ |

That makes me so sad. DH and I had made plans to see her show then COVID happened.

I hadn't heard that -- she was one very funny lady. I'm not sure I've ever laughed as hard as I did at her bit on sending her husband to the grocery store.

Yes sadly.  She was one of my favorite comedians. |

I’m sad to hear that. My 85 year old mom absolutely loved her comedy (as did I) and I often thought how fun it would be to surprise my mom by taking her to see her live.  Emelle |

Her husband passed in June. She was a classy lady.  RIP. |

There was a post recently about which celebrity death hit your the hardest and I couldn’t think of a single one at the time. This would be the one. I loved how she always found the humor in just about anything. I am so disappointed I never got to see her in person. I had tickets to see her last year but COVID hit and the show was cancelled.
RIP Jeanne, you will be missed.

I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few years ago. What a treat.
She was on her "Rocking Chair" tour - performed while seated in a rocker due to an injury or surgery of some kind. Audience members could enter a drawing to win the chair at each of her stops. She bought a new chair at Cracker Barrel in each town!

Sad to hear this as I always enjoyed her humor. The New York Times had a very nice obituary. It indicated her husband (aka "Left Brain") had passed away in June. Such a sad time for their family. |

She was a keynote speaker at a conference I attended - such a funny, nice lady.

This makes me sad. I would occasionally search out her videos because she was just so flipping funny....without having to use so many curse words!

So sad.
I loved her routine about sending her hubby to the grocery store with a list. This reminds me so much of my dh. I send him with a picture list.

I feel the need to make a 7-Up pound cake. She was a great storyteller.

That is so sad to hear. I would just go binge her videos when I needed a laugh. The grocery store one us the best.
