She also enjoyed traveling, going to the beach and watching the sunset. In her later years, she and Jim lived in Ireland for a short period which she enjoyed.

Jim – So sorry to hear of Jeanette’s passing. We really enjoyed meals with the two of you and seeing both of you in church. She will be missed
Jeanette was a great substitute teacher for me. She was a gentle woman, and she will be missed.
Jeanette and I were best friends at Shelby High School. We shared many memories growing up in Shelby Michigan. Some of my favorite memories are beach parties with Jeannette and Jim at the Stony Lake oval. During our 50th class reunion we were fortunate to spend time together in the same location, reminiscing and talking about our families. Rest In Peace dear friend. I am sure her family will hold many precious memories close as they celebrate her life.
Jeremy and the Andrews family,

We have lost a wonderful friend in our community, Village Cooperative of the Northland, KCMO. I loved telling her how beautiful she was when she came home after first “hospitalized time away”. She smiled so big and, I think, she enjoyed being told about her beauty inside and out. How we all will miss her smile. She brought joy to all of us.
I am sorry to hear of her. passing. I was a year older but remember her visiting CMU and then coming to college there. She was very nice to talk with
