Jeanette was a homemaker for many years and also worked as a Pharmacist Technician for Family Pharmacy in Ponca City for over 20 years from the mid 1970's until the early 1990's. She also volunteered delivering Meals on Wheels in Ponca City for several years after her retirement. She served in various positions with the Christian Women's Club and participated in many home bible studies throughout her life. She served faithfully in church, playing the piano and organ and serving as Sunday school teacher for children of various ages. Many years of her church service were at Grace Community Church in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. She was instrumental in teaching her children and grandchildren about the Lord and leading them to salvation in Jesus.

She was an excellent cook and loved preparing meals and entertaining her family during the holidays and on special occasions where she also enjoyed playing dominoes and cards with family. She also enjoyed taking trips to Branson with both family and friends and spending time at Silver Dollar City and enjoying the various shows. She was most proud of all the accomplishments of her sons and grand children and made sure to attend all of their school and athletic events throughout their lives. She was sure to let everyone know how proud she was of all their accomplishments. She will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. The family is comforted by the fact that we know we will see her again in heaven along with the other family and friends that loved the Lord.

The family requests in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Hospice of North Central Oklahoma, Inc, 445 Fairview, Ponca City, Oklahoma 74601. Thank you to all the caretakers from hospice that were a great blessing to Jeanette during her final days.
