Jeannie had many titles. There are so many people in her life whom she cared about and who cared about her. In later years she had a best friend and constant companion in her dog Coco. Her life was full of joys and also hardships. Jeannie's wonderful son, Barney, was her greatest joy.
She had many interests that kept a younger Jeannie very busy. She loved antiques and she and Ed had their own antique shop for many years. She also did some amazing work with stained glass and created wonderful pieces for friends and family. When life slowed down a bit, Jeannie took up jewelry design where she exhibited extraordinary creativity.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".
