Jeanette La Vern Hickey

I had the privilege to meet Jeanette in Jan.1996 when she kindly took me into her home for the following 7 months while I worked with her Daughter Lynn at Jenny Craig. Being a long way from Ireland Jeanette made me feel like one of her own family and did everything she could to make me feel at home. I will never forget her hospitality and kindness to me during my stay. I was so glad she got to visit Ireland that year and visit my home. My one abiding memory of Jeanette will always be of her...

Billy, Lee, Claude, Jeanette, John, Meda, Lynn. So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was the last of the "old guard" moms from 75th Avenue. Remembering the trip to Expo '67. Seems so long ago and also like it was yesterday. We shall fondly remember her as she was from our childhood days. She had a good long run. Rest in peace, Mrs. Harris.

Eric (Michelle) Jenkinson nephew to Jeanette. We send our condolences. She will be missed dearly.

We remember her so well when she visited her daughter, Sandy, in Columbus, Ms. We had the best time laughing and fixing the best dinners at Sandy's house. She was of strong character and resolve with a sweet smile and laugh. My wife,Brenda, and I will miss her as we also miss Sandy. Not a day goes by that we do not see something in nature and how it reminds us of the both of them. God Bless her soul and God Bless all of her family!

Jeanette was a devoted mother and grandmother. She gave me good advice when I was having babies and later raising teenagers. As Grandma to my three children, Beth, Will & Dan, she spent many summers traveling to visit them. She took Beth to Hot Springs, Arkansas one summer along with her husband, John and daughter, Lynn. Grandma made sure Beth received treatments for her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Beth remembers this trip fondly. Will & Dan would go along on excursions to the flea market...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. Jeanette was a special woman, caring, and generous. She welcomed me and my children into her home as if we were family. At Easter my children got baskets just like her 'real' grandchildren did. We were included in family celebrations; in fact the first wedding shower my daughter attended was at Jeanette's house, not at one of my relatives' homes. She and her daughters made me feel like one of the family and I am forever grateful. Jeanette will be missed by all who knew...

My favorite memory of Grandma is of her coming to visit, zipping up to the farm in her convertible gold mustang...the kids loved cruising with her in it...who has the cool grandma...

Charming, unpredictable and funny in her own way. Her legacy will live on through her children and their families. God rest her soul in peace.
