  • In 2012, I had the privilege of interviewing Jeanne Robertson at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Enjoy and experience Jeanne [perhaps] in a way that you've not before...relaxed and just talking a little about her life and craft.

    Precious Lady. Thankyou. Thankyou Beaver for sharing your Mom with us all. Jeanne has encouraged me to 'find the humor' in everything. And it has certainly worked in sad times. Blessings🌻

    Will miss her so much. Jeanne's humor helped me through some dark & hard time. Love her stories about Beaver & Left Brain, but I will always remember Baton. My prayers to Beaver & all the family, Toni & Norma Rose & Patrick.

    Such a great lady an a pure heart. I had the pleasure of meeting her. I watched her memorial service on you tube. Was totally worth it. Beaver spoke and my heart just broke for him. He did a great job and his emotions got him a couple of times. My prayers for the family. Love this lady.

    Jeanne’s DVDs helped my friend, gradually dying of cancer, to get through some rough times. When Jeanne came to Branson MO, I was lucky enough to get to tell her that and thank her. Jeanne Robertson made a difference in the lives of others. It’s a good way to be remembered.

    She was wonderful. And to think she lived to make us laugh. What a gift. My favorite story is the one about the vanilla milkshake. Because I had a similar experience at a restaurant. As it unfolded I could only think of Jeane's story. It was a bond. For a little while I felt like I was her. Now I tell my story to my friends and we enjoy a bit of human humor. Rest in peace Jeanne Robertson. We will never forget you.

    I was saddened when I read about this phenomenal lady’s passing. The celebration of life was lovely and touching. She had such a tremendous impact on my life. I would listen to her stories and back porch talks on my commute to and from work and while sewing. She was quite an inspiration! Her stories of friends and family helped me see the joy and humor in my life and made me laugh - what a delight! I have shared her many stories with friends, family, and co-workers. She will be missed but her legacy will continue.

    Thank you so much for sharing this with all of her fans. It has been a shock losing such a great lady, who filled our lives with laughter. Thank goodness we have her preserved on video for eternity. We can just revisit whenever we need a Jeanne Robertson fix.

    So sad to hear Jeanne’s gone but is she? I don’t think so. She’ll forever be in my heart. What a uniquely special lady! Refined, and refreshing. May her southern humor live on in us!
