I was so sad to just learn of Jeanette's passing she was a strong woman and I adored her. I had the privledge to work with her at the Madison County Health Department she would fill in for our clinics. I will miss her friendly warm smile.
God has her in his presence and she is healed. May her family find peace and comfort. God Bless.

We have enjoyed our long relationship with Jeanette as our program advisor. She was a great mentor and friend. In her honor, we have established the Jeanette Freestone Medical Assisting Transition Scholarship, which is designed to help students who have graduated from our medical assisting program and are seeking to transition on into our nursing program. We believe Jeanette would have approved.
We offer condolences and wish peace of mind to her family.

Although I have not spoke with Jeanette for many years, I remember her from Ivy Tech nursing classes conducted at Henry County Hospital back in 1983. Several instructors left and one died in a skydiving accident during the summer before we started. Jeanette willingly stayed with our small class of 22 future nurses as the ONLY instructor until other teachers could be hired. She was instrumental in my training as a nurse as well as many others in our class. The profession has lost a great nurse...

When first employed at Community Hospital, she was my secretary. She always seemed to know what I needed to make good decisions and when I returned the following morning, the reports I neded for that day were typed and ready for my signature. She was very good at all things she did. A good friend and a great nurse and educator. She will be missed by many. Virginia L Hoch, Redmond, Washington
