Posted on: Monday, May 29, 2023I was lucky to have known Jeanette over the years, and enjoyed every moment of being with her. She was part of the art classes at Matthews House – and was artist extraordinnare! A bunch of us girlfriends would gather together to celebrate our birthdays once a month, and Jeanette was a fun part of our gathering until she and Bob moved away from the area. She was always full of smiles, had the cutest laugh, and met adversities with incredible strength. We lost touch over the past few years, but shewas always a part of good memories! Condolences to the family for the loss of an incredible woman. Pat
