Jeanette was born and raised in Cleveland, graduating from Collinwood High School in 1947. There she met her husband Ray and they were married in 1951. They moved to Wickliffe in 1957 where they resided until Ray's death in April 2016. Jeanette was a member of the Wickliffe Senior Center where she served as secretary from 1991-1994, volunteered for Meals on Wheels and played pinochle. She was a loving mother to her 9 children and 21 grandchildren and hosted innumerable holiday parties. She loved to cook and bake for her family.
Jeanette's life's work can also be seen in the countless knitted stockings, sweaters, blankets, hats and scarves she made by hand or with her large knitting machine. She loved spending time with her sister Shirley and her many friends from high school. She was a member of Erieside Church of the Boulevard and Christian Assembly Church where she met many friends and participated in prayer groups and Bible studies. She will always be remembered as a kind and loyal friend, confidante and source of inspiration. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Private graveside services will be held. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in her name.
