November 25, 1931 - July 4, 2024
Eleanor Jeanne Lemaire was born November 25, 1931, in Battle Mountain, Nevada, to Louis E. and Eleanor Mollart Lemaire.
Jeanne loved the outdoors. She had many happy times with her family, summer camping on the Humboldt River, fishing and hunting. She loved music, played the piano, organ, and clarinet, and sang with several choral groups.
Jeanne married her high school sweetheart, Sam Broyles. Together, they raised three children in Battle Mountain before moving to Fallon in 1963.
After their divorce, Jeanne worked for CCCommunications as a night telephone operator. Ten years later, she retired as an Executive Assistant.
She met Robert Ansotegui at his business, Builders Supply. They married and spent much of their 42 years together traveling, fishing, camping, and visiting family. Sometimes, these activities happened all at the same time.
Jeanne's greatest joy was family. Two blended families of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews all received her love and kindness. They filled her world.
Jeanne is survived by her brother Louis M. (Salle) Lemaire, their children, and their families. Also surviving are her children Suzette Hughes, Sam (Catherine) Broyles, Lynn Broyles, Lynn's children, Tyler and Trever (Natalie) Detomasi, and great-granddaughter and namesake Eleanor Avery Detomasi, along with Tyler and Trever's half-brother Aaron (Tricia) Detomasi and their children. She is survived by Bob's children Sandra (Bob) Nelson, Steve (Mary) Ansotegui, and Mike Ansotegui, as well as grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and extended families.
Jeanne's last days were spent surrounded by family. She died on July 4th, 2024.
