Jeannine Everett Obituary
Jeannine (Nelson) Everett
1933 - 2020
Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Jeannine Everett passed away at home on November 11, 2020 at the age of 87 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
She was born in Kenosha on March 22, 1933 to Oscar and Alice (Branham) Nelson and grew up on the family farm on 60th Street.
Jeannine met Donald Everett at Bloxdorf's Dance Hall in Kenosha County. She went on to marry the love of her life on June 7, 1952. They are long time members of the First United Methodist Church in Kenosha.
She completed her education at the Kenosha/Racine Teacher's College. Jeannine then went on to teach Elementary School and Music Class at Bullamore Forks School for eight years and loved every minute. She left teaching to raise a family and return to farming as well as selling produce and flowers at the Kenosha Farmers Market.
Her favorite thing to do was to travel, and she especially enjoyed cruising. She traveled to many exotic places numbering over 50 foreign countries and 44 cruises throughout her life with Donald by her side. She also enjoyed selling at the Kenosha Farmers Market proudly displaying home grown vegetables and flower bouquets starting with her father and continuing through four generations. The family sold at the market starting in 1920 and continuing through 2019.
Jeannine is survived by her loving husband, Donald of 68 years; son, Gary (Diane) Everett, daughter, Shelley (Carl) Kempf; grandchildren, Sarah (Kyle) Czarnecki, Evan (Jennifer) Everett, and Courtney (Derek) Ratliff; great grandchildren, Lillee Everett, Nikolai Czarnecki, Scarlett Everett and Alexei Czarnecki.

Beautiful woman with a beautiful family. I'm honored to have been a part of her life for a short time. She has a special place in my heart and she will be fondly remembered.

Don, Gary, Shelley and families. Jeannine was such a class act that will be hard to follow. She had a real Midas touch where everything she graced turned to gold. From raising her family, extensive exotic travels to instilling the hardest work ethics passed down from her dad. Such a gem, Jeannine was one of a kind

My sympathy to the family and friend of Jeannine. I always enjoyed her stories and pictures years ago, after a cruise when she came to have her hair done at Personal Touch. God bless you all.

Don, Gary, Shelley and family. What a great tribute to a beautiful lady. So much of my childhood was spent with Jeannine and the Nelsons. From the stand on Hwy 31 to feeding lambs on the corner of 31 and 60th street, to Milwaukee for Christmas parades with Alice, to selling at farmers market. All have left me with great memories and love for all I received from your family. May God bless you all during this time as you celebrate a beautiful life.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I have very fond memories of visiting Oscar, Alice, Jeannine, Don and their families when I was 10 or 12 years old. My father and Alice are 1st cousins. Summer visits in Kenosha included trips to the Farmer´s Market in Milwaukee and Kenosha. I know everyone was no stranger to hard work. Oscar loved to go to buffets and dances and Alice kept her camera busy with pictures of our time together. There never seems to be enough time, but I know Jeannine lived her life to the fullest. An example we should follow.
