Jeanette – We will always remember your presence and leadership at St. Andrew’s Church. Janet and others have often asked themselves WWJD (we know what Jesus has done for us, but here it was What Would Jeanette Do?) for your talents in technology, learning ministry, leadership….and care. I will never forget how you and other team members once laid hands on me with prayer during a meeting. We are praying for your sons, parents, sister, and friends from around the world.

Sorry to learn of Jeanette’s passing. Jeanette was always a great help to sponsors who participated in the Integrated Product Development program. My experience as a mentor for my employer to various IPD teams was always enhanced by her well informed coordinating skills. She will be greatly missed.

I was touched by Jeanette’s life, ministry, laughter, and joy through the years I was part of the ministry at St. Andrews Lutheran Church. She was a joy as a friend and sister in Christ. While grateful that the pain and anguish is finished, we will miss her support, cares and loving presence….rest in peace, dear sister friend.
