Jeane Emily Ward, 89, passed away peacefully at Windward Gardens in Camden on Dec. 3. She was born to Ralph Boright and Hildred Brodbeck in Ponca City, Okla. on June 9, 1924.
Jeane grew up in Ponca City and attended Ponca City High School, where she graduated in 1942. After graduating, she married Valton G. Ward.
