Jeannette and her family were parishioners at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Highland Park and St Dismas Catholic Church in Waukegan.

She worked various jobs and was always a loyal worker. She worked at Jewel Osco Grocery Store for 11 years, then managed a Citgo gas station for 6 years. She retired from food service for the Walgreens Corporate Offices after 14 years. When her 9 to 5 job stopped, she continued her role as a mother and grandmother. She was always attending various functions, from concerts to sports events. She enjoyed her nightly outings with her daughter playing bingo at the church. She will be missed by her longtime friend since Kindergarten, Barbara DeLaRue, and her husband, Howard.

Although Jeannette had many things in her life that gave her great joy, her favorites were playing bingo every week with her many friends at the "local bingo halls," playing cards with family, and spending quality time with the cats (Princess and Snickers). 

A special appreciation with gratitude is extended to Katie Salyards and her family in full support of our family all these years!
