Most of you know Jeanne Bice as the magnanimous host of the Quacker Factory of QVC. Even more of you know her as the constant butt of Joel McHale jokes on The Soup due to the weirdness of the Quacker Factory. But all jokes aside, it is with sadness that I report that Jeanne has passed away from unreported causes. She was 71.
The Quacker Factory website:
Jeanne Bice loved life. From her childhood in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin-taking care of her baby brother Dick, all through her married years to her adoring Butch in Ripon, Wisconsin, raising her beloved Tim and Lee, Jeanne was surrounded by love. Everyone loved to be at Jeanne's house. That's where the party was-everyday.
Life was perfect, until that day when Butch suddenly died and left her with her two children, and decisions to make.
As she later wrote about it, she pulled herself up by her bra straps and started over. Again and again. She discovered that Happy wasn't a destination in life. 'Happy comes from the choices we make and the way we think on life's journey.'
Jeanne chose to love. She loved what she did-creating Quacker Factory clothes, with 'sparkle and shine'. Clothes that made people Happy. In the Rubber Duck Principle, Jeanne wrote this about Angels:
'Sometimes we feel that we are all alone, as life brings us challenges to overcome and hardships to bear. But when we least expect it, help can appear. It may be a kind word from a stranger or a phone call at just the right time, and suddenly we are surrounded by the loving grace of God. Miracles happen everyday because angels are everywhere.'
Today, June 10, 2011, Jeanne joined the Angels who will make miracles happen forever.
God Bless Jeanne Bice. May she rest in Peace."
