Mrs. Corbett (as a friend of her daughter, that is what I always called her) was someone who lived a deeply spiritual life of love and service with joy and compassion. She was always thinking of others and both she and her husband made sacrifices for others without anyone knowing it or without showing any burdens-- Christians in the deepest and truest meaning of the Word. When they left us, it was a loss for all.

Aunt Jeanette was one of the kindest persons on this planet. I never heard her utter any disparaging remark about another person.

She will be missed and remembered.
