JC is a graduate of Pekin Community High School and continued her education with an Associate’s Degree in childhood education. Staying close to home, she worked in retail throughout Central Illinois.
She is an avid reader and patron of her local library. She participated in both day and evening book clubs. She enjoyed listening to music, gardening and spending time with her animals.
Whether it was to Mardi Gras, Margaritaville or just to meet for coffee she loved to "go and do" and went on many adventures with friends and family throughout the years.
JC is incredibly close with her only grandchild, Evey. At a young age, Evey began referring to her as "Honey" instead of Grandma or Granny. This tickled "Honey" to no end and she wore the title with great pride.

Memorials can be made to Ayer Public Library in honor of Johnette or a PNC savings account for her granddaughter Evey Flatley's education.
