We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Jeanne Luckey, a founding shareholder and board member of Coastal American, who continued her dedicated service on the Gulf States Insurance Group board following the merger. Jeanne's commitment to our board and her steadfast support of management were invaluable. Beyond her professional contributions, Jeanne was a true champion of service in Mississippi. With over 30 years in the Mississippi Republican Party, she held roles including president of the Mississippi Federation of Republican Women, co-chair of the state party, and delegate to the Republican National Convention, where she spoke earlier this year. Luckey, who held degrees from the University of Mississippi and the University of Southern Mississippi, was a so known for her service on the governing board of the state's public universities. In education, Jeanne's influence was profound. Appointed by former Gov. Phil Bryant to the Institutions of Higher Learning Board, she championed accessibility initiatives for students statewide and launched a task force to examine the university system's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. She also worked as a special education teacher in the Ocean Springs School District nearly 20 years ago. More recently, she owned a real estate holding company called JCL, LLC, and Magnolia State Development Group. Luckey's love for the arts also led her to serve on several boards supporting arts and culture on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, the Great Southern Club in Gulfport, and the Gulf Coast Debutante Society. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann wrote that Luckey's impact on Mississippi will be felt for years to come. "Her passion for life, her family, and the issues that were important to her was immeasurable," Hosemann said. Her obituary can be viewed here: https://bit.ly/40MvTlS
