Known to always have a smile on her face, Jeanette loved to be with her family. Whether it be dancing with her sisters and sisters-in-law or baking her delicious apple pies, she enjoyed life, made others happy and valued friendships. Ready at the drop of a hat to visit, cook and care for anyone in need, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She was independent and strong, and often seen walking in town for exercise or to run errands. Jeanette worked many years as a seamstress before running her own antique business with her sister, Maggie.
She leaves an enormous space in her family’s lives, but a lifetime of fond memories to recall. Jeannette’s blessed life will be celebrated at a future date with friends and family members. For additional information, please visit, www.burkemagliozzi.com.
