We will always remember Jeanette as a true Proverbs 31 lady. She has left her rich legacy in her earthly life through her family; she has gained her righteous place in Heaven, as it should be. God bless you, Jeanette. We’ll wave up to you with love from the golf cart!

Aunt Jeanette, You will be greatly missed. You were always the sweetest lady and I always enjoyed visiting with you when you would come to the meat packing plant and see Mom and I would make y’all a pot of coffee. I pray for peace and comfort for the rest of the family. You will always be in my heart. We love you, Pamela & William ❣️
