Jeanette was one of a kind. Being raised with four brothers made her tough. She was the type of person that would speak her mind. You never had to ask for her opinion because she was already going to give it to you. She was a very good cook and had many recipes that will be passed down within the family for generations. One of her best qualities was being a true friend. If you ever needed her, she would be there for you, no matter the time of day or night. She also loved the beach. It was one of her favorite places to go. Her favorite color was purple, and she loved a nice set of pearls. Her favorite singer was Karen Carpenter. She knew every song ever done by The Carpenters, she held a special place in her heart for the songs Close to You and We’ve Only Just Begun. Jeanette was an avid GA Bulldogs fan. Every Saturday during football season she would be in front of the tv, being louder than what she normally was, cheering on the Dawgs. Most importantly though, Jeanette loved her children. She always took such good care of them any time they were sick and needed her. She would make their favorite meals for them any time they asked her to. Jeanette is going to be missed terribly by those that knew and loved her, especially her children.
