Jeanie retired from the United States Postal Service after 35 years. She was an avid bingo player who was dearly loved by the many friends she met over the years of playing. Jeanie never wanted to be the center of attention, but she was always in the center of the kitchen and her food was always mentioned. She was famous for her poppyseed chicken, banana pudding, and strawberry cake. Jeanie will be dearly missed as a faithful member of New Life Ministries in North Little Rock.
