Jeanette will be lovingly remembered as a fun-loving, generous, and caring woman who was full of life. Known for her quick wit, humor, and protective nature, she treasured her family and especially enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
She found joy in traveling aboard Amtrak trains, playing bingo and euchre, and enjoying a coney dog with a Coke and her daily cup of black coffee. Above all, her greatest happiness came from the time she shared with her loved ones.
Jeanette is survived by her children, Teresa McCarthy, Denise (Dave) Calley, Kathleen (Rich) Paajanen, and Bill (Lesa) McCarthy; her sister, Christina Melelis-Thompson; and her treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William McCarthy; her son, John McCarthy; her sister, Bernadine Cripps; and her brother, Peter Melelis.
A Celebration of Life will take place at the Elton Black and Son Highland Chapel on Friday, November 20th. Friends and family are invited to attend the gathering hours from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm, with a service to follow.
Jeanette will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
