Jeanne Ludwig Cochrane, 97, of the Oregon communities of Banks and Forest Grove passed away March 21, 2023, at Tuality Community Hospital. A
 memorial service is planned for this coming summer at the Banks 
Community United Methodist Church in Banks, OR. The date will be set 
later. Jeanne was born November 30, 1925, in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota. She was one of four children born to Edward and Mary (Gable) 
Ludwig. She grew up and received her early education in Saint Louis 
Park, Minnesota, and graduated from Saint Louis Park High School in 
1943. Following high school, Jeanne attended the University of Minnesota
 Nursing School, obtaining her Public Health Nursing degree in 1948. 
After graduating, she worked as a Registered Nurse in Minneapolis for a 
year.

Jeanne met her future husband, Carl, while attending the University 
of Minnesota. They met at a social dance hosted by the nurses’ dormitory
 where she stayed on campus. Jeanne and Carl courted for three years 
before they were married on June 18, 1949 in Minneapolis, at the church 
Jeanne’s father rebuilt. Following their wedding, they made their home 
in Seattle, WA, where Jeanne settled into her life as a devoted wife, 
mother, &amp; homemaker. In 1956, they moved to Melbourne, FL for a 
short period, returning to the Seattle area the following year. They 
made their home in the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island for several more 
years, where they raised their five children. Jeanne returned to work as
 a nurse for a period during that time, when her family especially 
needed it. In 1972, the family moved to Aloha, OR. In 1975, Carl, 
Jeanne, and family moved to the community of Banks, OR and settled into 
their home on one acre overlooking the foothills of the coast range, 
staying there until 2014, when Jeanne moved to Forest Grove. Throughout
 her long life, Jeanne’s husband, children, and – especially – her 
grandchildren were the most important thing to her, as was her love for 
Jesus, and for others. In addition to being the most loving wife, 
mother, and grandmother, Jeanne was an active member of the Banks 
Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School for 35 years and was 
president of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. Jeanne was the 
embodiment of Love, Sweetness, and Giving; and she gave her all to 
anyone around her, most especially to all the children she so loved, 
greeting everyone with her ever-present smile &amp; kindness. She was 
everyone’s favorite babysitter, and her house was nearly always filled 
with the various children from the neighborhood, who found in her a 
loving shelter. She lovingly cared for the sick &amp; the injured in her
 community, shared her home-cooked meals, and visited the elderly, 
keeping them company with her unfailingly warm, compassionate spirit. 
Jeanne was amazingly artistic and especially adept at crafts, using her 
talents to help entertain, educate, and enrich the lives of both 
children and adults in her life. She never hesitated to sacrifice her 
own needs &amp; time, to do for others – willing to forego having a 
“pristine” house in order to have the craft supplies needed for others’ 
sakes, or to allow little children to play freely. She used her nursing 
skills to volunteer at schools, immunization clinics, and other settings
 whenever needed – anything to help people, which was her life passion.

Every holiday or special occasion, Jeanne’s neighbors could always 
count on seeing her special paintings on her home’s windows, as she 
always celebrated life and wanted to use her creative &amp; artistic 
talents to lift others’ lives. Her love extended as well to animals, as 
she viewed any of her own children’s pets as her grandchildren; to 
Jeanne, her daughters’ dogs were her “grand-puppies." She was also well 
known as being the most devoted fan of the Portland Trail Blazers, 
especially Terry Porter, and Clyde “the Glide” Drexler, sending 
hand-written birthday cards to every player on the team. One of the 
highlights in her life was getting to meet Terry Porter, Clyde, &amp; 
her other “boys” up close, at a special celebration in Portland. Her 
sports-bug stemmed from her days back at the U. of Minnesota, where she 
cheered on her beloved Golden Gophers; their fight song became one of 
her favorites to sing, up to her very last days.

Jeanne is preceded in death by her husband, Carl Cochrane, daughter, 
Loni Vendettuoli; brother, Charles Ludwig; and sister, Margaret 
Varnuska. She is survived by her 101-year-old sister, Betty 
Fuller, of Minneapolis, MN;&nbsp; daughters, Jill Kilby and Gwen Steinbach, 
both of Forest Grove, OR; her sons, Brad Cochrane of&nbsp; Forest Grove, OR, 
and Todd (with spouse, Chun-Yen) Cochrane of Manhattan, KS;&nbsp; and her six
 grandchildren: Blaine Vendettuoli, Heather Nielson, John Steinbach, 
Rosie Ramirez, and Anne and Albert Cochrane. In lieu of flowers, 
the family suggests donations in Jeanne’s name be made to the University
 of Minnesota School of Nursing; Banks Community United Methodist 
Church; the American Cancer Society; or St. Jude Children’s Research 
Hospital.

Marilyn Jean (Brandon) Twining, daughter of Francis and Alma (Elder) 
Brandon, was born October 19, 1939, in rural Forty Four (now known as 
Hatter’s Corner), Arkansas. She grew up in various north central Kansas 
farming communities. Having accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord 
and Savior in 1956 she was baptized at West Side Baptist Church, Topeka,
 Kansas. She graduated from Highland Park high School, Topeka, Kansas in
 1957. On June 1, 1958, she was united in marriage with Gail L. Twining 
at West Side Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas. To this marriage were born a
 son, Trenton, and two daughters, Denise and Leslie.

In
 1961, she moved with her husband to Manhattan, Kansas, where she became 
private secretary to the Dean of Intramural Sports and Head Coach of the
 Crew Rowing Team at Kansas State University. When her husband answered 
the call to the Pastoral Ministry in 1970, she moved with him and their 
three children to Washington, Kansas, where she became Deputy Registrar 
of Deeds for Washington County, Kansas. When she moved again with her 
family to Lansing, Kansas, in 1975, she became Executive Secretary to the
 Vice President for Development at Saint Mary’s College, Leavenworth, 
Kansas. At the same time, she was busily acting as proofreader, typist 
and chief encourager for her husband, Gail, while he was earning a 
college degree and a seminary degree.

After moving a 
fourth time with her family in 1977 to Tekamah, Nebraska, she became 
Bookkeeper and unofficial “Assistant Administrator” at Tekamah Nursing 
Home (now known as Tekamah Arbor Care Center). It was in Tekamah where 
all three of her children married and left home. It was also here she 
became a member of Tekamah Chapter Number 131, Order of the Eastern 
Star.

From Tekamah, she moved with her husband to 
Huron, South Dakota. Here, she took a course preparing her to be 
licensed as a Real Estate Agent, working for Ace Realty. A sixth move 
brought her to rural Benton, Kansas - a few miles northeast of Wichita, 
Kansas. It was back to school again, this time preparing to be certified
 as Dietary Manager for Wheat State Manor Nursing Home, Whitewater 
Kansas.

Upon retiring in 2001, she moved one more time 
with her husband, back to the place they had considered to be home for 
many a year, Tekamah. Here, she worked for three years as Proofreader 
for the Burt County Plaindealer and the Midwest Messenger.

She went on to be with the Lord March 17, 2023 after a long illness.

She
 was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers Berkley and Glenn 
Brandon, a sister, Wanda Cozine and two sisters-in-law, Elizabeth 
Brandon and Marlene Brandon. She Leaves behind to mourn her passing and 
to look forward to the reunion that is to come, husband, Gail; son 
Trenton and his wife, Barb; Daughters, Denise Hunter and her husband, 
Dave and Leslie Petersen and her husband, Ray; eight grandchildren, 
twenty-three great-grandchildren and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews,
 and friends. Especially to be noted among the latter are the staff at 
Tekamah Arbor Care Center, who cared for her so well in her illness of 
nine long years.
