Publish in a newspaper
Jeanette was the fourth youngest sibling, with 10 brothers and sisters. She grew up in Wausau and graduated from Wausau Senior High School in 1963. She married the late Gordon "Putt" Nelson in 1966 and raised 5 wonderful children. Jeanette then married her soul mate Cleo "Woody" Woodward on April 13th 1988, in White Sands, New Mexico.
Jeanette worked 20 plus years until her retirement from James River.
After retirement she enjoyed spending time her besties Norma, Lynn and Joanie at their lake home in Harshaw, on Birch Lake. She loved watching her kids and grandkids at their activities. Fishing, time around a campfire and the annual family camping trip was always so important to her. She always had a spoiled lap dog at her side. But her family was the centerpiece of her life.
She is proceeded in death by her parents; brothers Ralph, Vernon, Kenny, Jerry and sisters Mary Ellen, Dorothy and Linda; daughter in- law Kim Nelson; step son Jay Woodward; grandson Tyler Nelson
She is survived by her husband, sisters Eileen Streble (Weston), Joan Wood (Wausau) and brother Noel (Cheryl) Meyers (Florida); children Steve (Julie) Nelson of Rothschild, Stephanie (Dan) Wage of Wausau, Patrick Nelson of Rib Mountain, Paul (Amy) Nelson of Rib Mountain, Jay (Mindy) Nelson of Wausau, and Michelle (Mark) Coxen of Phoenix AZ. She had many nieces, nephews, cousins, grand children, and great grand- children.
The family would like to thank the amazing angels that watched over her on the last days of her life at the Aspirus hospital in Stevens Point. They went above and beyond to provide dedicated care and support.
A service will be held on Monday October 24th at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church on 503 Schmidt Avenue, in Rothschild with visitation at 11am until time of service at 12:30pm. A luncheon will follow the service.
Mid Wisconsin Cremation Society is assisting family at this time. Online condolences may be expressed at MWCS.WS
