Remembering Jeanné Wickens, Huntington University Trustee

It is with great sadness that the Board of Trustees announces the passing of member Jeanné Wickens. Jeanné had served as a Trustee since 2021 and was a committee member on the Enrollment Management and University Relations Committee.

She was a faithful contributor to the Forester Fund, which directly funds scholarships for Huntington University students, and was a key sponsor of the Our Roots Run Deep: 125 Years of Christ, Scholarship, and Service gala, which celebrated the 125th birthday of the University.

Jeanné will be remembered for her devotion to Christ and her family. She was known for her ability to be a very present friend to all. Jeanné spent her career in financial management, most recently as chief financial officer for Parkview Health. She was a member of Emmanuel Community Church.

She passed away on September 19, 2024. The funeral service is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on September 30 at The Branch building of Emmanuel Community Church in Fort Wayne.
