Jeannie was a Hannibal, NY native. Later in life, she split her time between Hannibal, NY and Lecanto, FL., travelling with her favorite companions, her cats: Tigger, Blackjack, Missy and Daisy Mae. Jeannie lived a long and adventurous life, driving a school bus, riding her motorcycle to work and even winning Powder Puff Derbies, among other things. Jeannie was also one of the founding members of the Oswego County Pioneer Search and Rescue Team. She was a devoted animal lover, pet owner and animal rescue supporter.
