63 Year Old Lives Alone In 15 Room $400,000 Mansion | Country House Rescue | Abode

Such a shame that she passed away in 2020, she seems like such a lovely woman. And this was one of the best episodes, hands down! It was so good to see someone, for once, completely embrace the new ideas right from the moment they're suggested and was open to change. I feel like it's the first time an owner never once pushed back; she merely had to adjust to the new normal, which is to be expected. But she fully supported these new endeavors and I loved her for that! Also, partnering with a local college to provide a space where the classes can be taught as a hands-on course for years to come was absolutely brilliant.

The man that left this bright, beautiful, intelligent woman was a fool!

Rest in peace Jean Wilkins (Passed away in September 2020 at age 72). I really would have loved to have met her. She shared the same love for old historical places!

I don’t think she’s bonkers. The place is incredibly special and magical. She was such a nice person.

Jeanie was lovely. I hope she lived out her days secure in the knowledge of how much she had done to preserve the house she loved. RIP, Jeanie.

I'm glad Jeanie lived long enough to see the house restored... and not only restored but thrive. I met her only briefly in 1990 while searching for my dog but she left a lasting impression on me. Rest in Peace, Jeanie and may your soul find rest in the home you loved.

Its wonderful that Jeanie got to spend the rest of her life in a place that meant so much to her & her life, and that she wasn't alone anymore!😇 R.I.P. Dear Jeanie, this grand manor house had no better caretaker & owner than you!💕

I think Simon was brought into Jeanies life by a higher power. He made her quest a reality. She did live out her life there as she wanted. Sad that it was a short time but a dream she lived out. Thanks for the wonderful true life story.

I dare say she walks the hall at night and the garden by day.. such a lovely Lady.

Who are caring for her lovely cats now ?? That cats/ animals also brought this house to life. The wonderful lady and her cats made this beautiful yet cold mansion a loving home !!!! RIP lovely lady !! So cool !! I could understand being attached to a particular place.

For all of the people in the comments who didnt look it up, Jeanie is dead, the house was sold to an interior designer. Hopefully one who will truly appreciate and honor the interior.

How upsetting to find out that the lovely lady, Jeanie, has passed away. R.I.P Jeanie.

The emotion that just flooded from her when he spoke about the house I felt over the thousands of miles away . I am saddened to hear she passed but happy that she was able to live in her dream space until she was ready to be called away . She left a legacy behind , a small footprint on the massive planet we live on amd that was an accomplishment only some can dream of .

She should have called Johnny Depp. He would have helped her and had it back to bed and breakfast!! Bless her Soul. I love this house and her wonderful spirit

I don't blame the owner in not wanting to sell her property. We all must try to save our history.

I knew that was Hugh Bonneville! Loved the entire story. I see in other comments Jeanie would only live 8 years beyond this filming. I was enjoying the idea of her finally seeing her beloved home completed and living happily ever after. And one more thing... PHOOEY on the partner that once was.

What a lovely story . Jeannie went from overwhelmed to smiling. Good for her!

RIP Jeanne Wilkins September 2020 😢 she seems like one of the kindest Nicest women ever.

I can't imagine living in that massive home alone. It must have been terribly lonely. So sad that she didn't have someone to share it with.

I have read that the owner Jean passed on in 2020. She definitely was a fighter.
