I am so sorry to hear about Jeanette. I will always remember Harold & Jeanette when they built their 1st house. May the Lord bless & keep their family. She was my 1st cousin.
Sincere sympathy from the North Vernon High School Alumni Association. She was a 1958 graduate.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of this dear sweet woman. Jeanette was always so friendly and kind. I always liked her. May God bring peace to the family during this difficult time. It makes me happy to know that she is up there in Heaven and is reunited with her husband Harold and her relatives again. I look forward to meeting her again some sweet day. See you on the other side Jeanette.
Jeanette was a woman who loved life, and loved the Lord. She enjoyed singing in the choir at Shiloh Baptist Church. She was a pleasant person to be around as she had a sense of humor. She asked me if I wanted to direct the choir at Shiloh as she wanted to step down after directing for so many years. I consented, and enjoyed the experience. Jeanette is now in heaven with the Lord and Harold, and how happy she must be!
