She worked as a Registered Nurse for over 20 years at the old United Hospital Center. She was also a member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Fairmont. Jeanie was a very talented cook and loved celebrating her favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. She was known for her homemade grape jelly and peach jam. She enjoyed gardening in her beautiful flower garden and watching the birds as they flocked to her feeders. Jeanie was an avid traveler, where she made countless memories visiting 19 countries. She never knew a stranger and would always give her honest opinion on everything. Jeanie had a way of lighting up any room. In high school, she was named the class clown because Jeanie could make anyone laugh. Jeanie found her greatest enjoyment in spending precious time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
