I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her best as my Girl Scout leader when we all lived in Meadowcliff….. meetings at the school and fun camping trips. My favorite memory is her always chewing gum and fiddling with her Diamond pendent necklace as she was talking.
She had a beautiful smile and was always so nice.
I recently ran into Rick, as he was inspecting a house that I was selling, and we talked about her and Don.
I know she will be missed!
Momma Jeanette was one of a kind and loved dearly by many. Always centered, strong and cheerful. I will fondly remember her laugh, blessed to have known her and had her a part of my work family. Sending much love, light and comfort to Don and the family.
