Jeannie Herron, age 92, of Lawrenceville, Illinois, passed away Thursday, September 3, 2026, at Deaconess Midtown Hospital in Evansville, Indiana, surrounded by her family. She was born January 20, 1934 in Lawrenceville, Illinois, the daughter of Harry Raymond “Bud” Corder and Constance Emmons Corder. She married Larry Herron on August 27, 1957, and he survives.

Jeannie was a registered nurse, homemaker, and devoted wife and mother. She was a lifelong active member of First Methodist Church in Lawrenceville. She attended the weekly Women’s Bible Study and helped plan and schedule the Singspiration.

She enjoyed baking sourdough bread, lovingly known as “Mamaw bread,” as well as chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Her children adored her, and she cherished them deeply. Her commitment to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was unsurpassed.

Jeannie was a true prayer warrior, and her strong faith in God was reflected throughout her life. Her love for her family, her faith, and her caring nature defined her.

Preceding Jeannie in death were her parents and sister, Patricia Jenney.
