Jeanie Lawson Langdon, age 63, passed from this world to the next on April 3, 2011, after a long battle with carcinoid cancer. Jeanie's optimism and courage in fighting her cancer included the most advanced technologies of the cancer centers at Duke, UNC, and Rex Hospitals.

She the was former owner and operator of Hair Creations in North Raleigh. Jeanie was a retired Broker in Charge of the Garner office of Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston.

I was a friend of Jeanie's when she and Harold had their place at Atlantic Beach. Jeanie was fun, wise, beautiful, compassionate, honest and I will miss her so. Some of the best memories of my life are of she and Harold. God bless you all...I know you will miss her...but know that I personally am a better person for having known her.

Jeanie was my hero and best friend. She was so special in so many ways.I had the pleasure of seeing her two weeks ago and she told me then with a smile on her face that she was going to be okay now.I knew then that she had suffered long enough. I am going to miss that beautiful smile-you will be in my heart forever.

Classy, genuine, warm, kind, considerate, loving, inspirational, courageous, graceful, strong and faithful are a few of the words that describe Jeanie. But the best words, to me, would be TRUE, SPECIAL and FOREVER FRIEND. They say a faithful friend is the medicine and sunshine of life. They also say good friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Jeanie was REALLY a true friend, because she knew ME and liked me anyway!!! As a friend she was a present I gave myself, and her friendship was a treasure. Most people walk in and out of your life, but a true friend leaves footprints in your heart. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our FRIEND.

I only knew Mrs Langdon through ties from her work with HPW. But I can tell you, from the encounters that we shared, she was a exceptional human being. My heartfelt prayers go out to your family on this day. May His peace and grace comfort you in your time of loss.

Jeanie was an inspiration to many people that worked with her. She was an inspiration to me when I was just starting in the real estate/mortgage business. I will always remember her grace and professional manner and will always be inspired by the way she combined being a professional with having time for family and friends.. She touched our lives and will always be our inspiration.
