Jeanette was born on Nov. 24, 1949, in Glendive, Montana. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Kathryn (Nissley) Hostetler.
She married Ray Yoder on Sept. 20, 2003.

Jeanette graduated from Western Mennonite High School in Salem, Oregon, in 1968 and attended Hesston College, Hesston, Kansas. She worked in the financial aid department at Goshen College and retired in 2016. She and Ray attended River Oaks Church.
