Jeanette Ellen Abrahamson

1930 - 2025

Jeanette Ellen Abrahamson, a devoted mother, grandmother and woman of deep faith, passed away peacefully in Joshua Tree, California, under the loving care of her daughter and son-in-law.
Born on December 5, 1930, Jeanette married the love of her life, Richard Abrahamson, with whom she shared a rich and loving marriage until his passing in 2001. Together, they raised their family in Diamond Bar, California, instilling strong values and love in their four children: Bruce Abrahamson, Brian Abrahamson, Kurt Abrahamson and Susan Henry.
Jeanette was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard, her sons Kurt and Brian, and her grandson Patrick Henry. Her strength and grace through loss were a testament to her unwavering faith.
She worked many years for the phone company and, after retiring, settled in Spring Valley Lake, where she was an active and beloved member of her church at Jess Ranch. In 2014, she moved to Joshua Tree to live with her daughter and son-in-law. There, she found renewed purpose volunteering in her daughter's classroom, where students fondly called her "Miss J." She was also an active member of Joshua Springs Church, where she found a spiritual home and community.
Jeanette's greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Henry, her son Bruce Abrahamson, her grandchildren, Jacklyn Thacker, Seth Abrahamson, Lucas Abrahamson, Sarah Jo Wilcox and Alisa Abrahamson, along with 15 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren and a third on the way.
Jeanette will be remembered for her kindness, her joyful spirit and the faith that carried her through life. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
A service to celebrate Jeanette's life will be held at Sunset Hills at 2400 Waalew Road, Apple Valley on May 23. Service at noon and burial at 1 p.m. Reception to follow at Seth and Tanya Abrahamsons' home.
