She worked for over 20 years at Pepperidge Farm Mail Order then at Value Print for 9 years, both in Clinton, before retiring. Jeannette was a hard working woman and a good friend. She was a warm, caring, selfless woman who was liked by everyone. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Over the years she both contributed to and won her share of Bingo pots. She always kept her hands busy and her mind keen, whether it be working on jigsaw or crossword puzzles or sewing. Jeannette was a huge NASCAR fan who enjoyed following the drivers and race stats. She frequented the local restaurants to show her support and to get out and enjoy a good cup of coffee. She will be sadly missed by all.
