Jeanette was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved anything that involved family and was always up for planning family events. She and Art made their home at many different Air Force bases in their early married years as Art made a career in the military, and Jeanette kept the home fires burning.

Jeanette was always walking to see the beauty of God's creations and for exercise. She took part in the Avon Breast Cancer Walk, walking 60 miles from Fort Collins to Boulder. She and Art went on many adventures and traveled extensively.
Jeanette always said, “life is beautiful” and “all girls need huggies." She lived her life by those mottos. She saw the beauty in all things and gave hugs freely.
