Jeanette King

She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who found her greatest joy in her family. Jeanette is lovingly remembered by her children, Jay Dale Krier (Audrey), Cathy Rex (Jim), Christopher Krier (Tracie), Mary McQuinn (Steve) Roy E. Pellegrini Jr. (Vicki); her grandchildren, Katie Gomez, Erin Liles, Tyler Keena, Jessica Krier, Sean Krier, Becky Steinhardt, Jamie Parslow, Jenna Parslow, Allie Davison, Ian and Justin Pellegrini and Loren Vaca; and her precious great-grandchildren, Abbie and Eli Gomez, Silas Parslow, Kelsie and Rylie Wood, who brought her endless happiness.

Jeanette was preceded in death by her parents, Sheldon and Mary Jameson; her sister, Elizabeth Dean Bross; her brother, Lonnie Jameson (Sharye); and her three husbands, Charles H. Krier, Jr., Roy E. Pellegrini, and William S. King.

A proud graduate of Hillsborough High School, Class of 1955, Jeanette lived a full and vibrant life. She enjoyed a successful career as a real estate agent and later worked as an office assistant to Alex De Quesada at AdeQ Firearms. Beyond her professional life, Jeanette was a woman of many talents. She was blessed with a beautiful singing voice and was often invited to share her gift at weddings and funerals—moments where her voice brought comfort, joy, and connection.

Jeanette’s love for dance began at the age of three and remained a defining passion throughout her life. From dancer to teacher, she delighted in sharing her love of movement with others, inspiring confidence and joy wherever she went.

Above all, Jeanette will be remembered for her kind heart, gentle strength, and the love she so freely gave. Her warmth, grace, and enduring spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A celebration of Jeanette’s life is being planned for March.
