Jeannette and Don were married in England on May 5, 1962, while Donald was enlisted in the US Air Force.  They were fortunate to be stationed in Italy, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and then retiring back in Texas.  They moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2018 to be cared for by their daughter and son-in-law.

Jeannette loved this country so much that in 1978 she became a naturalized citizen!  She loved gardening, golf, the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Cowboys and most importantly, her family.  She never met a stranger.  Over the past 21 years she battled COPD and multiple cancers.  She was a true fighter until her last breath.
