Jeanette was born in San Antonio as an only child growing up in San Antonio until high school when her parents moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where she graduated from Alcee Fortier High School in 1953. After high school her parents moved back to San Antonio and Jeanette went off to Southern Methodist University where she was initiated into the Delta Gamma fraternity. She eventually obtained a teaching degree from Trinity University and a Master’s degree as a reading specialist from the University of Texas San Antonio. She taught 1st grade and reading at Park Village and Converse Elementary schools in the Judson ISD until her retirement. In her spare time, Jan loved her many cats and was an avid bridge player. She also enjoyed social activities at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church, dinner parties with her and Albert’s many friends, travelling to Hawaii and Colorado, and relaxing in Big Bend and the Texas coast.

A Memorial Service to honor her life will be planned at a future date in the Garden Chapel at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church, 825 E. Basse Road, San Antonio, Texas, 78209. Call or email Judy Stengel Garcia at (210) 531-6166, [email protected] for information as it becomes available.
