Besides being a full-time homemaker, Jeanette, a lifelong area resident, still found time to work at Mr. Frosty's Ice Cream for over 15 years. She spent many years as a dedicated PTO mom and in her free time enjoyed watching cooking, baking, game shows, and of course her favorite daytime soap operas. She never missed an opportunity to spend time with her grandkids and great grandkids, who were the light of her life.
Jeanette was loved by the many people whose lives she touched and will be deeply missed.
A Mercy Dinner will be held to memorialize Jeanette. Date, time, and location will be announced later.
