Jeanette was an enigma; a flamboyant personality who loved life. She was funny, insightful and smart. “J” loved her nieces and nephews. She would buy them the best presents, and leave her signature lipstick kiss marks on their foreheads. They loved “aunt Nette”. She also loved her pets and even some who weren’t her pets! She’d even feed the possums and squirrels in her neighborhood. Jeanette’s heart was huge! She helped everyone who asked. Finally, J loved to sing! She had a beautiful voice.
