Above all, Jeannette loved her family and spending time with them the most, especially giving love to her grandbabies. She was extremely proud of each of the grandkids, how far they had all come and all of their accomplishments. She enjoyed dancing so much; she would light up a room with her smile and freeing presence on any dance floor. Two of her passions were country music and camping and she shared those with her husband Joe. Together they attended many concerts. She also loved watching and feeding the birds and she loved to travel and see new things.
