My Condolences to the Family.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeanette for 37 yrs. One day I was given a traffic ticket for something that I did not do & Jeanette happened to be in the car with me. When I went to traffic court, Jeanette went with me. I was going to take the plea deal that they where offering because, I didn't want any points on my license & I just wanted to get this over with. When I came back and told Jeanette she said, " no Annie, you didn't do anything & I would not take any deal. I will come to court with you every time that you have to come". I came back to court at least six times, (officer never showed) and she came to court with me every time. The Judge eventually dropped the charges. My point, if it wasn't for Jeanette's feistiness, strength & standing up for right & wrong, I would have accepted the deal & paid unnecessary money for something that I did not do. A tiny person with the strength of a body builder.
With all that Jeanette endured in her life, she continued to be strong and show other people kindness & respect. Jeanette, "She was a Unique Woman". Rest in peace. I will miss you.

My heart breaks for the loss of my sister Jeanette. We were very close and shared tears and laughter over many years. She sent me a gift in 1960, a blind date who later became my husband Douglas. I will be forever grateful to her for this. She was a very unique woman, never conforming to the norm and young at heart. I will miss her very much.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeanette at the TOH. She will always be remembered as a kind, quick witted and a good person. She brings a smile when I think of her. May she rest in peace. Joe P
