A scholarship fund in Jeanie’s name has been established with the Antioch School, and donations to this fund should be sent to the Jeanie Felker Scholarship Fund, The Antioch School, Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387. The fund will help to support the education of children who otherwise would not be able to attend the Antioch School.
