Baptized and educated at Sacred Heart Church, she often volunteered in many activities especially those sponsored by the ladies of Ste. Anne Sodality. She enjoyed serving as sacristan for many years expressing her dedication and unshakable faith. For the last twenty years she lovingly contributed over 250 handmade baby quilts benefiting the “Our Place Outreach Program”.
Her sense of adventure at 90 years of age allowed her to begin spending her winters in Zephyr Hills FL., where she died.
With dignity, Jeannette enjoyed a full life and sharp wit. We will long remember her love of sewing, playing scrabble, watching the wheel of fortune, and reading the daily newspaper. Her selfless generosity will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she has touched.
