Jeanie took great pride in being a dedicated grandmother to her grandchildren, supporting them in all of their endeavors. She loved making the holidays extra special by cooking her best dishes, and organizing games, crafts and fun activities for them to enjoy.

Jeanie was a matriarch of her family and was always happily involved with a reunion of any kind. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, and was a friend to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
