Jeanette (AKA Grandma) was such a wonderful person. I have so many fond memories of her, like hers and my tagging along with Andy when he went to Italy, and watching her "Hang-glide" at a mall, her love of mazithra cheese and, most importantly, her complete acceptance of me when I started dating her grandson. She reminded me a lot of my paternal Grandma; comfortable in her religion, vibrant, active, and caring for her family. I'll miss her.

I am saddened by the passing of Jeanette. She was my work partner at the Indiana Blood Center many years ago. She was such an intelligent, kind and sweet woman. She used to stop in and visit my mother in the hospital and share stories with her. My sympathy to the Wilson family. You are in my prayers.
Had a perfect visit.

What a beautiful lady with a loving smile and a warm heart. So many memories over my life. She made such an impact on me that made me a better person. I will always remember her smiling eyes. She was such a wonderful friend to our mother. May you find warmth in the glow of her soul as she goes on to her next journey.
