If Jeanine wasn’t planting roses and “manning the troops” in her yard, you could find her cooking up a storm for family and friends, planning parties, or decorating her home . . . .
absolutely sharing her goodness. Her talent in decorating has been enjoyed by all and featured in the local news numerous times. Jeanine was the ultimate lover of life. Her expression of laughter and love came through in color. There was never a holiday or special event that did not get her total attention, no detail was overlooked. Her home was an oasis of comfort, love and cheery hellos!
Being an accomplished singer and musician, she loved to sit at the piano and entertain. Her family was raised in a home filled with all kinds of music – and she taught her children the game of work -- and to always take pride in a job well done.
She served faithfully in any calling directed to her through the L.D.S. Church, but found the most fulfillment in accompanying in Primary. She loved children and to hear them sing!
Together with her husband Jim, they have dedicated their hearts, time and talents sustaining family and friends, by enriching and edifying the lives of all who know them.
Sweetheart, Mom, Sis and Grandma, we promise to enrich your legacy by living life to the fullest, in loving all, and “Sharing the Goodness.”
