Jeanne Robertson was already a YouTube sensation when Growing Bolder first met her—a storyteller whose humor and warmth had earned her a huge following online.
We first met Jeanne as a guest on the Growing Bolder Radio Show. When we heard she was visiting our area, we knew we had to meet her in person. What we found was a warm, hilarious and gifted storyteller who made everyone she met feel like an old friend.
Jeanne wasn’t the kind of person who simply showed up, did her thing and left. She took the time to shake hands, talk with people and make sure everyone went home with a smile.
Jeanne Robertson died in 2021 at age 77. Her stories, humor and generous spirit continue to bring laughter to audiences around the world.
