So very sorry for your loss, prayers for the family and friends, she was a great Mom and grandmother, I would see her at all of the sporting events
I first met Jeanette in the late 1970’s while servicing the computer at United Farm Tool. Many years later she was a member of the Friendship Sunday School class at the Nazarene Church. I also have memories of Jeanette attending many sports events in which the girls participated. She was a kind, beautiful lady.
Jama loved those Saturday spaghetti nights!!! I was always envious. 🙏
Always loved and admired Jeanette many great memories with her! Praying for comfort and peace for her family!

My thoughts and prayers are with you Brenda, Joe and family. I was so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. All my love to you all, Alice McNealy Snead
My dear Aunt Jeanette❤️ She was a lovely, God fearing lady with a sweet, sweet spirit. The most important things to her were God and family. I have so many childhood memories as I spent much time at the Cunninghams visiting my cousins, Uncle Bob & Aunt Jeanette. She was a good cook and always made sure we had fun (and we did have alot of fun). She will be sorely missed but we take great comfort in knowing she is now with Jesus and the eternal bliss that is promised by our mighty God. 🙌
