Jeannette passed away peacefully at her home in Bellevue, Washington. A native of Georgetown, Texas, Jeannette resided in Longview from 1947-1997.

Their only child, Kay, was born in 1944. Jeannette worked as a nurse in different hospitals and later at Gregg Nursing Home.
Survivors include one daughter, Kay Owen of Bellevue, Wash.; three grandchildren, Laura Weatherhogge and husband, Scott, James M. Owen Jr. and wife, Emma, and Jerrold Owen and wife, Jennie, all of the Seattle area; nine great-grandchildren, all in the Seattle area; two sisters, Helen Ferrell of Longview, Texas, and Waldine Pokorny of Austin, Texas; and a number of nieces and nephews.
