Jeanette Gail Mobley

In the early morning hours of November 29th, 2024, surrounded by family, Jeanette Gail Mobley of Salem, OR, gained her wings. After many years of ruthless fighting, she finally lost her long battle with kidney failure.

Jeanette was born August 27th, 1943, in North Platte, NE, to parents Wm. Leslie Davis & Ardis Nellie Davis (Modrell). She graduated high school in Harold, SD, amongst a class of 12 students. On July 4th, 1963, Jeanette married the love of her life, Donald Roger Mobley, in Newport, OR. This is where they would later settle down and raise a family, before later moving to Siletz, OR, in the early 1980s. Jeanette and Don celebrated 40 amazing years together before he tragically passed away in a log truck accident on December 11th, 2003.

As much as Jeanette loved being a homemaker and mother, she always made time to volunteer within her community. She was a member of New Life Center Church in Newport, OR, and then Logsden Mennonite Church in Logsden, OR. Some of her other volunteer work would include; Bluebirds, being “Class Mom,” the Toledo Summer Swim Team, Senior Sisters, and working at the Toledo Thrift Store, to name a few.

Anyone who knew Jeanette could attest to her crazy love of cats and cookbooks! Some of her other interests would include cooking, puzzle games, dragonflies, knitting, crocheting, rock collecting, and diamond art. In April of 2018, Jeanette made the move to Salem, OR, where she would live out the rest of her days.

Jeanette was survived by her daughter, Andrea (Jeff) Schamp, and son, Wm. Eric (Beth) Mobley, as well as her grandchildren; Alexandra, Ryan, Gerrit and Matthew. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don; brother, Wally; and daughter, Stacia. A small graveside service will be held at Riverside VFW Cemetery in Siletz, OR, on January 18th, 2025, at 1 pm. Memorial donations can be made to Serenity Hospice of Salem. (3501 Fairview Industrial Drive SE Suite 140, Salem, OR 97302) Thank you to all family and friends for your continued love and support! We will love you forever, Jeanette. Until we meet again.
