Jeanette Van Dyke

Born on August 29, 1943, in New York, Jeanette grew up in Oyster Bay on Long Island and later became a longtime resident of Westminster, where she built a life centered around family, friendship, and love.

Jeanette was the strongest, most loving, and most unselfish person her family knew. She dedicated her life to loving and caring for those around her, always putting her family first and giving endlessly of herself. Her love was unconditional, her heart was generous, and her presence was the center of her family.

She spent 35 years working at JCPenney, where she formed lifelong friendships and touched the lives of countless people along the way. But her greatest career and proudest accomplishment was being a mom. She devoted herself completely to her children and grandchildren, always offering love, guidance, support, and unwavering strength through every stage of life.

After the passing of her husband, whom she loved deeply, Jeanette missed him every single day. While her family’s hearts are broken by this loss, there is comfort in knowing they are together again in heaven.

Jeanette is survived by her four children, Ken, Brian, Carole Ann, and Debbie, along with her cherished grandchildren and extended family who will continue to carry her love and memory with them always.

Her family will forever be grateful for every sacrifice she made, every hug she gave, every lesson she taught, and every ounce of love she poured into their lives. Nothing will ever fill the space she leaves behind, but her strength, compassion, and love will remain with them forever.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
