Jeanette enjoyed life and loved to laugh. She had an interesting way of being a worrywart, but at the same time showing strength and flexibility to adapt positively to change and hurtles that came through living life. She was passionate about loving her family and was a dedicated wife to two good men and a doting mother and grandmother. She was also passionate about loving her many pets throughout her life. Her 22 years with Tibbs Furniture was more than a job as she considered the Tibb's employees her second family and always felt her time there was the highlight of her working years. She enjoyed playing cards with friends over the years and would never pass up an opportunity to dance. She once said "I would rather dance than eat." She was proud to live in Wellington and stated, "I was born here and I will finish the dance here."
