June recently passed away.
As a child, Jeannette went to many churches and over the years she went to many kinds of churches. She always said "Church is Church, just pray and believe in God and you will be ok". She had a great love for animals; she always had a dog until her health didn't allow her to care for them.
Jeannette graduated from Mtn. Grove High School with the class of 1958. She lived a full, colorfully, diverse life. Among some of her occupations was being involved in farming, driving a school bus for Mtn. Grove and Cabool Schools and a homemaker.
