Jeanette was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a strong, independent, caring, loving, kind woman until the day she passed. She gave of herself and time unselfishly. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay for a while and touch our hearts so deeply that we are never the same. That was the effect she had on people.
