Jeanette and her family lived in Ocean Falls until 1966 and then they moved to Vancouver Island where they resided in Black Creek. Her father Jelte got a transfer to work at the Campbell River Pulp Mill. Jeanette remained an Island girl living in the Comox Valley as well as Victoria up until her passing.

She has an immense and unconditional love for her family and an unending generosity that could be seen in the way she cared and supported the many people in her life.

Jeanette had the biggest heart. She was vibrant and had a big love and passions towards dogs. In 2008 she adopted a puppy named Chance. He was a big black standard poodle was the sweetest, most loving playful dog imaginable. Chance was one of Jeanette's greatest joys. Their bond was truly special, and Chance brought so much happiness to her life. Whether it was taking long walks together or simply enjoying each other's company, Jeanette's love for him was evident to all that knew her.

Jeanette also loved playing bingo with her friends and loved giving rides to people that needed help. She was also an amazing cook and was known for her delicious soups.
