Jeanna Don (Paxton) Bellville, 40, died on January 27, 2020 at her home in Heath, OH. She was born on July 12, 1979 in Newark, OH.

Jeanna was a 1997 graduate of Marietta High School. She went on to earn a B.S. in economics from Ohio University and an M.A. in Professional Development from Amberton University in Garland, Texas.
