Anyone that knew Jeannie would agree that the priority, main focus and love of her life was her daughter. Second to her was her love for her grandchildren. Her family always came first. If you were her friend, you were also considered family. She would give you her last dollar and the shirt off of her back. Her door was always open and a seat was always waiting for you at her table. She had a zest for life and was always happy, smiling and glad to see you. She loved music and dancing. She loved being outdoors and fishing. She had a green thumb and always had a house and yard full of plants and flowers. She also had a love for animals. Any stray brought home through the years always stayed. Her eyes sparkled when she smiled. She had a childlike innocence to her that let her see the good in everything and everyone. She was a thoughtful, unselfish, loving, nurturing, kind woman. The love that she had in her heart was endless.

The earth lost a good soul but Heaven gained an angel. We celebrate your new journey with Jesus in his Kingdom in Heaven.
