A loving mother and homemaker, Jeanette spent most of her early married life raising her two sons. Her top priorities were always her husband and children and she enjoyed spending time with and caring for them. She will always be remembered by her family and friends as a soft spoken, simple, sweet woman whose greatest joy was in taking care of other people.
