Jeanette Ann Brandel

Jeanette was a devout catholic and throughout her life was a parishioner of St. Alphonsus in Grand Rapids, St. Mary Magdalen in Kentwood, and Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Belmont. Jeanette loved watching NASCAR, traveling, dancing, playing cards, going to garage sales, cooking, and most of all spending time with her family. She was a loving and caring woman who would do anything she could to help others. Jeanette made friends easily and when she spoke to you it was as if she had known you forever. She had a love of life and all the beauty that came with it. She was a hard worker with a feisty attitude and a warm heart. Jeanette will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
