Jeanette said:

"One day my life shall end, and lest

some whim should prompt you to review it,

let her who knows the subject best,

tell you the shortest way to do it:

then say, 'Here was one doubly blest'.

Say 'She was happy', say 'She knew it'.

A Celebration of Life will be held 10:30 am Saturday, December 7, 2019 at the 301 Chapel of Hodges Family Funeral Home.

Donations in Jeanette's memory can be made to The Rotary Foundation, Gulfside Hospice or the University of Rochester School of Nursing.
