Jeanine was born on November 19, 1933 in Little River, Oklahoma to Leo and Ruth Simmons. She graduated from high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She married Joseph Myers on December 17, 1954. Together, they moved to Amarillo in 1966 to start the Gospel Chapel Church, which opened on December 23rd. She served God her whole life. She held many titles working for the family church. She was the cook, piano player, and so many others. Her true job was taking care of the home. She was described as a wonderful, loving, and caring mother who only saw the good in everyone. Jeanine adored her grandchildren and loved them unconditionally, just as they did her.
In Lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be made in honor of Jeanine to the Gospel Chapel Church.
