Jeannie is remembered fondly by numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a host of friends who were touched by her kindness and generosity.

Jeannie dedicated her life to our Lord and Savior and was driven by her deeply rooted faith. Her unwavering commitment was evident in all aspects of her life. She devoted countless hours offering support and kindness to those in need. Her actions reflected her belief in living a life of service and compassion, and she found joy in uplifting others and sharing her faith. Her legacy was one of love, generosity, and a profound connection to her spiritual principles. 

She enjoyed a fulfilling career with Adminstaff (Insperity), where she was greatly admired by her colleagues in the payroll department. Her proudest accomplishments were the deep bonds and meaningful conversations she nurtured with her family and friends. Jeannie delighted in spontaneous casino outings, bingo and porch card games, shopping trips, and cruises with her loved ones. Known for her selflessness, she often put others’ needs before her own and was passionate about giving back, particularly through her volunteer work with the Austin German Shepherd Rescue. Her immense heart and dedication to helping those in need left an undeniable mark on all who knew her. Although she is no longer physically here with us, may she continue to shine vibrantly in the hearts and minds of all those who loved her and whom she impacted.
