Jeannette was a strong woman with a vibrant personality who loved the outdoors.

​

She spent her early years camping, hunting and fishing with her husband Pete and was not afraid to get her hands dirty.

She loved her yard and could be found bare foot playing in the mud in her garden, cutting and pruning flower’s or making sure the bird bath was clean and full for the birds.

​

She enjoyed Baking and canning vegetables from the garden and was known for making the best pickles and salsa in town!

Jeannette always gave 110% whenever someone needed support in any situation weather it was cutting a neighbor’s lawn, watering their flowers visiting a friend in the hospital or just writing cards to lift someone’s spirits.

In the early 80’s her and her husband Pete joined The Norwood Legion. She spent countless hours volunteering her time with the Women’s Auxiliary. Amongst her many, many accomplishments with the legion and the women’s auxiliary, poppy drive’s, fundraisers, and conferences where she could acquire a new pin is when she was the happiest. She loved working on her uniform polishing her shoes, sewing on medals and buttons until it was perfect.

In the last few years of her life Jeannette was fighting many ailments however she never found the time to complain. Instead she did what she wanted when she was able.
