Jeanne Lynette Harris-Yount
January 24, 1956 – February 27, 2026

Jeanne Lynette Harris-Yount passed away on February 27, 2026. She was born on January 24, 1956, in Ventura, California to Naomi and Gerald Claypool, alongside her sister Lori and brother Gary.

At the age of 18, Jeanne moved to Humboldt County, where she built a life rooted in community, family, and lasting friendships. For most of her career, Jeanne worked as a bartender in local restaurants and bars. She truly loved what she did and became known not just for her work, but for the strong relationships she built with coworkers and patrons. Many people came through the doors as customers and left as friends.

Jeanne had a lively spirit and a passion for games. Whether it was cards, dice, darts, pool, or bowling, she loved the fun and friendly competition they brought. She proudly passed that love on to her children. Beyond games, Jeanne was a talented cook, an enthusiastic gardener, and had a deep love for animals. Her home and heart were always open, and she brought warmth, laughter and kindness to the people around her.

Jeanne shared 42 wonderful years with her husband, Troy Yount, building a life full of memories and love together.

She is survived by her husband, Troy Yount; her mother, Naomi Claypool; her sister, Lori; and her children, Jamie and TJ Harris.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, March 29 at 12 p.m. at The Monday Club, 610 Main Street, Fortuna. All are welcome to attend and celebrate her beautiful life.

Jeanne will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched throughout the years.
