Jor Jeanna Lee Biddison lived life with a camera in her hand, confetti in her pockets, and a heart completely dedicated to her faith, family, and the joy of a great adventure. Following a planned heart surgery on June 18th, Jor Jeanna returned home and appeared to be recovering well. On July 4th, after a lovely drive with Jim, they spent the day watching America's birthday celebration on television. She became unresponsive later that evening, but through the heroic efforts of Jim and emergency responders, she was revived and airlifted to Aspirus Hospital in Wausau. True to her resilient spirit, Jor Jeanna fought hard for three full days before passing away peacefully on July 7, 2026, surrounded by God and family.

Jor Jeanna's early years were filled with simple joys alongside her three sisters, biking, swimming, and getting candy and ice cream. Her faith was anchored early with Sundays centered on church, where she was later confirmed in the Methodist faith. When she was 14, her family undertook moving their entire home down the Wolf River to Weyauwega. Settling on their new hobby farm, she grew to love driving the tractor. Her deep faith remained her lifelong guide, leading her from youth as a camper and counselor in the Canadian Boundary Waters to her adult years as a dedicated Sunday school teacher and reader of daily devotions.

While attending Weyauwega High School-where she was known to rock a short skirt and board the bus with her hair in curlers-she met the love of her life, James "Jim" Biddison. Their high school romance blossomed into an enduring 51-year marriage, which they celebrated on July 5. After graduating high school, Jeanna earned associate degrees in Interior Design and Accounting from Fox Valley Technical College. Her accounting education eventually led her to work alongside her father in the transportation insurance industry. Later, she and Jim purchased T.I.S Ltd. from her dad, managing the business as a dedicated team until they both happily retired in 2019, the same year Jor Jeanna beat breast cancer. The ultimate celebration of their beautiful marriage came in 2025, when they took their family of ten on a special 50th-anniversary trip to Hawaii, creating unforgettable memories swimming with manta rays, parasailing, visiting Pearl Harbor, and recreating their original 25th-anniversary dinner.

Jor Jeanna's independent, fun-loving spirit defined everything she did. Fittingly, her favorite color was red; she was a proud American who flew the flag year-round and dedicated 27 years to local elections, moving from a devoted poll worker to the vital role of Chief Inspector. While she loved her time as a Girl Scout leader, she poured her heart into helping build Scouting Inc.-serving as its dedicated Treasurer for decades and always remaining the heart and hands behind the Scout food stand at the Waupaca County Fair.

She also loved the freedom of the open road-whether behind the wheel of her beloved Corvettes, cruising top-down in the LeBaron, or driving her VW Bug-and spent blissful summers boating at the family cottage in Fremont or tailgating at Green Bay Packers games. You could often find her enjoying a glass of wine, a Miller High Life, a Bloody Mary, or a mimosa, while eating cheese and sausage and surrounded by family and friends.

As the anchor of a dedicated Disney family, she brought her daughters to the parks for years and was blessed to ride her favorite attraction, "It's a Small World," one last time this past June. Her holiday traditions were legendary, from Christmas celebrations with personalized stockings to Easter mornings watching her family hunt for baskets and hidden rolls of paper towels. For Jor Jeanna, every milestone was worth celebrating; loved ones could always count on an anniversary card arriving in the mail, guaranteed to shower them with joyful confetti.

Jor Jeanna is survived by her loving husband, James "Jim" Biddison; her daughters: SoniaLynn Thede-Kramer (Shayne) and Kristeanna Crick (Tyler); her cherished grandchildren: Dakota, Rylee, Peyton, and Kaydence; and her sisters: Susie Kruse and Kimberly Kruse. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernard "Bernie" and Mary Jane Kruse, and her sister, Kathy Kruse.

Jor Jeanna lived by a beautiful philosophy passed down from her mother: to remember and celebrate her birthday and the vibrant life she lived, rather than the day of her passing. Though she is no longer holding the camera, the colorful pictures she captured in the lives of her loved ones will never fade.

A memorial service for Jor Jeanna will be held on Friday, July 17, 2026 at 12:00 PM at the Dahlke Life Celebration Center in Weyauwega with Rev. Kari Riley officiating. A gathering of family and friends will be held prior to the service from 9:30 AM until 11:45 AM.
