Jeanne Bice Has Passed Away
Anybody who has come home drunk off their ass and entertained themselves by putting a plate of gravy fries on their lap and QVC in front of their eyes know exactly who the basic cable treasure Jeanne Bice of the Quacker Factory is. Jeanne was a treasured gem wrapped in ridiculous wrapped in sequins that was available for just 3 easy payments of LOL.
In news that will make Joel McHale softly weep into his beaded Jesus Rules sweatshirt, former Hot Slut and QVC star Jeanne Bice floated off to the shopping channel in the sky yesterday. Mourn by covering your foreheads in a bedazzled tube of stuffed fabric you call a headband.
Here's a piece of the sad message that was left on the Quacker Factory's website about the passing of Jeanne:
July 20, 1939-June 10, 2011
A Life of LoveJeanne Bice loved life. From her childhood in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin-taking care of her baby brother Dick, all through her married years to her adoring Butch in Ripon, Wisconsin, raising her beloved Tim and Lee, Jeanne was surrounded by love. Everyone loved to be at Jeanne's house. That's where the party was-everyday.
In the Rubber Duck Principle, Jeanne wrote this about Angels:
'Sometimes we feel that we are all alone, as life brings us challenges to overcome and hardships to bear. But when we least expect it, help can appear. It may be a kind word from a stranger or a phone call at just the right time, and suddenly we are surrounded by the loving grace of God. Miracles happen everyday because angels are everywhere.'
Today, June 10, 2011, Jeanne joined the Angels who will make miracles happen forever.
God Bless Jeanne Bice. May she rest in Peace.
Rest in peace, Jeanne. You are now quacking with the angels up in heaven who will always call you BJ:
And where the angels only wear papaya and butterflies pajamas:
Thank you for entertaining us drunks with your HOT PICKS, priceless clothes and hilariously ridiculous banter for years, Jeanne!
(Thanks Kathy)
• 
RIP, Ms. Bice. I was never a fan of the lady's clothing line, but I did think she seemed genuinely full of the simple joy of life. I secretly envy that in people. I hope she is in a beautiful place now.
QVC is the one thing that my mom and sister (who have a contentious relationship) can truly bond over. I fondly remember one Thanksgiving vacation when my mom, sister and I were in my mom's bedroom watching QVC together and judging the merits of the items on sale: a rare moment of non-fighting and (kind of) togetherness in my dysfunctional family.
I would like to say Thank You to Jeanne Bice for designing such a beautiful clothing line! You were always a delight to see on air! May the Quacker factory keep going in memory of you! You were loved by so many and will be greatly missed! May you Rest In Peace! You Friend, Kathryn Eichler
I don't watch QVC, and barely know anything about this lady, but I am glad so many of you seem to have fond memories of her. Somebody who brought joy to the world will now join the Angels.

Oh, Evil, you bought EasyFeet? Every time I use it, I start singing a song about it to the tune of "Easy Street" from "Annie" (yes I am a total retard). I want PedEgg, too! Is it good? I'll take your recommendation and try it! Just didn't want to gamble and lose.
==============================================
Love PedEgg. My mom got me one because rough feet run in our family and it has been a godsend.
RIP Jeanne Bice. Her and the Kirk's Folly lady are the only reasons to watch QVC.
oh dear God. I had forgotten how funny those skits were. Thank God for Youtube LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0ghEi5tLlnc
=======================================

Wasn't she the one that MadTV or SNL had that skit on, with the lady in the headband, with a sweater that was always covered in all kind of weird stuff, like chocolate boxes and stuff ?
I never realized that was based on a real person.
they were pretty funny, but I can't remember who did them. Julia Sweeney or somebody ?
anyhow, RIP lady..you sound like you brought a lot of people a lot of joy.
What was under that headband?
RIP lady, you will be missed. Quack, quack...

It's ok to be a redneck by the way.. just don't yell git 'er done because we all hate that.
My morbidly obese cousin wears her clothes all the time. They're fug but makes my cousin happy, so I can't hate.
One late night channel-surfing, I came upon Jeanne Bice on QVC and that freakish Adrien A. on HSN...at the same time!
It was heaven...a night I'll never forget.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
It wasn't so much HER that I thought was funny (okay that headband thing was a little much), but all the women that would ooh and ahh over those sad tacky sweaters. She made a killing off the poor taste of goys everywhere and that's what I loved about her. :( Right now she's up in heaven, bedazzling an "I Love Me" sweater for Jesus. *weep*
OMG this is terrible! QVC is having Quacker Factory on in a half hour and Jeanne Bice won't be there. R.I.P Jeanne Bice I loved watching you and your crazy clothes and hearing your crazy convoluted stories.
Love the idea that she's bedazzling Jesus and all the angels wings in Heaven.

Awww. My friend and I used to call each other and trash the clothing on TV and poke fun at her banter with the host as she tried to keep up. We haven't done that since she moved across the country with the time change.
Her clothing was terrible, but she seemed sweet. Her story is interesting too. I think she tried out several times to be a vendor for QVC before they finally put her on and she sold out in minutes. The rest was history. RIP and shine on you crazy diamond!

My teenage angst has a body count!
Awww this actually makes me sad. I have had many nights of drunken Jeanne Bice. I actually bought one of her sweaters once for an ugly sweater party! This lady knew how to have a good time and was always smiling...hope she went peacefully.
Awww. I have good memories sitting watching QVC with my Mom and making fun of her and her clothes. She seemed like a nice lady though.
So many kind words for Jeane--I aalmost thought I was on the wrong site!

Just for the day, but it feels like at least a week. As for my hubby's birtday gift, he wanted cycling accessories. Picture a forty-something guy, 6,63 feet tall, with glasses and a little pot-belly wearing skintight lycra 'cut-offs', is that saucy enough for you? Teehee.

I'm not familiar with the game, but that doesn't mean anything.
If there's betting involved it will be played somewhere.

And they will. Not me, personally. :)

Hya Becky! Your online name always makes me think of the Sydney Opera House (I'm limited that way), now add to that your Rod Stewart avi and I'll find myself humming "I'm sailing" all day long. Not that it's a bad thing. It will actually be a nice mental escape, for it's my hubby's birthday and my in-laws are coming over.

I'm drunk as hell and QVC? I only read the 1st few lines of MK's post and Here I am refuting. However, QVC gives a lot of MK's psyche. Anyhow R.I.P. J.BICE
Sup sluts. It's my birthday and I'll snark if I want to.
Awww, I only knew her through Joel McHale, too. The clips they'd use on The Soup would have me rolling and I was just thinking the other day how they haven't featured a Quacker Factory clip in a while :(
RIP to a sweet lady who is probably bedazzling her halo-headband as we speak.
I guess I don't drink enough. I never heard of this broad although I'm not one to watch the shopping shows when drunk unless they are selling tanzanite, whatever the fuck that is, and then I am spellbound.
I am also intrigued by the idea of gravy fries when drunk although just gravy or fries would be all I could manage when I get my stupid on.
The ladies in my old office will be sad. When I started working there it was all they wore. Then I made a comment about it looking like old lady stuff (they weren't old ladies) and they stopped.
She did seem like a very nice lady though. I hope all the angels met her with their little duck bills quacking at her (she always had one on the table).

I knew I was officially old and had gone "country", when I finally thought a sequin blouse looked "cute" on Quacker Factory. heh
I will miss her cheery personality on QVC's
Quacker Factory and only watched because she was so sweet.
Bye bye, Jeanne
You always inspired me.

Sadness. I thought the clothes were ugly, but she was entertaining to watch.
I read that Feed the Children was her favorite charity, and if you wanted to make a memorial in her name to do it there. FtC is one of my favorite charities as well, so extra sadness.
She is probably bedazzling Jesus as we speak.

It's a shame - I never got to feel the sweet sting of those dusky coral talons scrape across my back as it arches in a moment of unbridled passion. I'll never get to peel off her President's Day-themed button-up storybook sweater with hot anticipation, revealing the bountiful fleshnubs hidden beneath the QVC flexpay splendor. Never shall my balls be cushioned by the pillowy softness of a polka-dotted forehead warmer during an extreme teabagging session.
Is that venom or semen on the floor?
Here's what I am going to do, I am going to read up on how to be a Buddhist, and I am gonna pray to Buddha that he is going to reincarnate me so when I kill myself I can come back and be cool as
fuck like you.
she was always so positive...i will miss watching her on QVC... Rest in Peace!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"low self esteem is a bitch"...
This makes me extra sad tonight. This sounds totally strange but when my anxiety gets to me, I watch QVC and HSN. I always loved watching Quacker Factory even though I'm 27 and the clothes she sold weren't my style ;) She had such a loving and kind demeanor that radiated through the TV screen. She will be missed by many! Heaven is full of extra sparkle and sequins today 0:)
I so wanted to be a Qvc home shopping lady in my younger days. They had the best manicures. I remember jeanne. She had the best flair.
I was busy all afternoon and just checked into Dlisted to see this sad news. Apparently Jeanne just announced on May 1st that she she had been diagnosed with a "treatable cancer." Seems it was uterine cancer and someone mentioned she had been having issues with a blood clot as well.
As a younger woman who appreciates fashion, her bedazzled clothes made me laugh, but she seemed like a very sweet woman with a devoted fan base. QVC won't be the same without this lady - she was a lot of fun to watch.
@Twat
Yup thats the bitch...Jane something or other. While we're at it...add Carolyns fat ass, and Shawns psurgery gone wrong mug to the list. The HSN ladies have their quirks but at least they're entertaining. Thats always my "background noise" channel.

I could never look into your eyes
And settle for wrong
And ignore the right
When I found a boy who loves me more
Than you ever did before
So stand beside the river you cry
And let yourself down
Look how you want me now that I don't need you
Awww man, she was so fun to watch on QVC. I know I will totally be wearing that Quacker Factory shit when I am a couple of decades older.

Aww..I"ve never come home drunk off my arse and sat down to a plate of fries..ok, the former, yes, the latter no, detest spuds. But this woman looks sweet and she looks like someone who I really loved, who passed away, so I hope her passing was peaceful.
And that headband is very..umm..

Evil_Cupcake -- let us know how "Devil" is; I really want to see that. Last devil movie I saw is "The House of the Devil" -- loved that one; it's an homage to horror flicks from the 70's & 80's.
Hekki -- I, too, am impressed with the way home shopping has evolved. The channels are carrying more & more sophisticated items.
Green Tea Latte -- OMG, I HATE the elf-looking check on QVC!!! The short broad, dark hair, pixie-type haircut who always wears big earrings? Annoys the fuck out of me!
