Jeannette was a farmer’s wife who put caring for her ten children and everyone else’s needs first. She loved to bake cakes, pies, and was famous for her apple dumplings. She enjoyed making treats for the grandkids. She loved getting lottery tickets, going to parties, playing BINGO, watching game shows and westerns on television and listening to country music award shows. Her favorite singers were Freddie Fender and Johnny Cash.
She was a sweet, kind and gentle soul. Her favorite days were the mother and daughter day outs. Jeannette was old fashioned, doing laundry in a wringer washer, scrubbing them by hand for a house full of kids, and hanging them on the line outside to dry.
She attended Grace Bible Church in Astoria and her Diabetic Support Group.
