4 Nov 2020Jeanette was a warm, loving, caring person who welcomed everyone with open arms. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She always had time to lend a hand to someone in need. My thoughts and prayers go to her family, friends, and those she helped along the way. – Mary Ballard
