While working, Jeanette raised three wonderful children – Jessica, Greg, and Janel.
Jeanette and John moved to Long Beach Island, NJ, for the next chapter in her life, working with her daughter Jessica at The Island Shop. Jeanette was a sought-after employee by Island Shop patrons seeking fashion advice. Jeanette was happily employed with The Island Shop for 25+ years. Jeanette would then snowbird to Delray Ray Beach, FL with John after the holiday season for some sunshine.
Jeanette enjoyed hosting dinner parties, visiting Atlantic City with friends for some slots, cruises with her husband John, playing bridge games, flower arranging, and decorating her house to the nines. If Jeanette were cooking, she would make stromboli, cupcakes, or lemon meringue pie. On Sunday, you would find Jeanette rooting for the one and only Philadelphia Eagles with a Cosmo.
