Jeannine (Mom) was born on August 1, 1937 to Marc and Charlotte (Boine) Friedrich in Toul, France and died November 15,2020 in Enid. Oklahoma. Jeannine was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and devoted Roman Catholic. Jeannine was a warm and affectionate person that had two greets for everyone; “Hello Baby” and “what do you want”. The two things that you took away as a person when you left Jeannine’s presence was a full heart and full stomach. She always made sure everyone that came to her house was well fed. Jeannine’s warmth and affection will live on in the hearts of her family. She taught us how to work hard and love even harder.
Jeannine came to the United States with her first husband Thomas William Tucker in 1959 and resided in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They later moved to Enid in 1974 with their 3 children. A longtime employee of Central Machine and Tool Company, Jeannine later married Leroy Heckman in 1982. Jeannine loved her family and was a great mother and great grandmother to 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Jeanine was always warm and loving to everyone she met and would always welcome them to her home. She was a hard working and loving mother to 3 children (Marc, Mike, and Sissy).
Jeannine was preceded in death by her parents and a brother Marc Friedrich.
