Jeannie always took pride in her appearance and graced every social setting with elegance and grace and treasured each and every friendship along her journey. She loved the beach, the Dallas Cowboys and had an incredible green thumb. She enjoyed drawing, painting pictures, and decorating / remodeling designs for their condo in Destin. She will be truly missed by many friends.
