Jeanette graduated from Northern Illinois State Teachers College in DeKalb in 1937. She began her teaching career in a one-room, K-8 school. After a hiatus of 20 years to raise her family, she returned to teaching in 1966. She taught as a Title I teacher from 1973-82 in Danville District 118.

A devout Christian wife and mother, she was one of the oldest members of Ridgeview Baptist Church, where for over 40 years she was active in Mission Circle and served on the Missions Committee, taught Sunday school and sang in the choir.

Her hobbies included African violets, gardening, sewing and a variety of crafts. She enjoyed cooking for both family and guests.
