Jeanette attended Hopewell-Loudon School and worked at Rexall Drug Store and was a caregiver for the elderly. She met her future husband, Linus, while caring for his father and the rest became history. Jeanette was the wife of a Navy man and relocated with him while raising their four children. The family returned to Tiffin in the early 1960s and continued to call it home.

Jeanette was a master seamstress, crafting beautiful wedding gowns, customized draperies, and the list goes on. Her talents were many and were displayed in the home she kept, along with the food she served and the love she shared with many. After her children were grown, Jeanette worked briefly at Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, Saint Francis Home where she later retired, and part-time at Cabin Creations. She was a member of Saint Joseph Catholic Church, The Josephines, and Red Hat Gad-a-bouts.
