Jeanette was a homemaker and made caring for her family her life’s work. She traveled extensively in the U.S. with her husband, enjoying camping and hiking. Reading and music played big roles in her life and even as her memory faded, she could sing the lyrics to almost any song she would hear. Jeanette loved all animals and spent hours watching and feeding her backyard birds. She adored the family’s pets and her many “granddogs” and “grandcats.”
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jeanette’s name to the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Foundation would be appreciated.
