Jeanne Marie Scharlund-Maneval

On Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019, peacefully and quietly, Jeanne Marie Scharlund-Maneval passed from this earth's walk, at her home in Redmond, OR with her husband at her side. She succumbed to her final battle with cancer, which had re-surfaced suddenly and with a vengeance, having been discovered just 10 days prior to her passing. Since the sudden death of her previous husband of 25 years, Randy Scharlund, on Feb. 14, 2010, Jeanne fought numerous medical issues that plagued her, but through it all she remained strong and never lost her faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Five years ago, Jeanne was blessed to meet a most kind and loving man, Dwayne Maneval. They were married on Oct. 24th, 2016, in Hawaii, and had built a wonderful home, business and life together with their beloved pets Punkin, Piper and Luna in Redmond, OR. Jeanne (Bjelland) was born a 'May Day' baby on May 1, 1953, in Clarion, Iowa - the last of 4 children born into the James Freeman and Beatrice Marie Bjelland family. All of her immediate family members are deceased, with the exception of one older sister, Constance Ruth Norman, who resides in Bend, OR. She is also survived by numerous family members and an aunt (Beverly Larson) in the Greater Portland, Eugene Valley and California areas. Also remaining is a niece, Tanya Bjelland, who's whereabouts are unknown. Among Jeanne's accomplishments are 10 plus years of service with the Redmond Chamber of Commerce as an Ambassador. She received the honor of Ambassador of the year in 2011. Her achievement of Principal Broker in the Real Estate Industry and many successful years in real estate sales. Most recently her license was with the Starbucks RE Group of Redmond. She had also received multiple Avon awards as she enjoyed distributing that product long before she began real estate sales and continued with Avon to the very end. She was also very proud of her accomplishments as a lumber broker in Eugene for Shamrock Lumber for a good many years prior to moving to Powell Butte in the late 1990's. Music also held an important part in Jeanne's heart. She had a beautiful voice, and sang with the "Sweet Adelines" and performed in a quartet in Eugene, and participated in the "Harmony 4 Women" organization in Bend. One of her favorite acappella ensembles was the "Pentatonix"; however, she was quite partial to country music and favored Blake Sheldon and his most recent song "God's Country". Jeanne's passion was for the U of O Ducks. She loved watching their football games and never missed one. She stood behind them in good times and bad and was often seen wearing Duck colors and paraphernalia, even though she was not partial to the color green. She also was known for her theme nails which changed with the seasons and her travels. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Sat., January 4, 2020, with an open casket viewing between 10:00 and 10:40 AM, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at 450 SW Rimrock Way, Redmond, OR.
