    Jeanette will be remembered for her patience and kindness. She was a second mother to many. Jeanette loved to spend time with family and friends, loved to watch NASCAR races with her husband, and she was a fan of Elvis. She was known for taking lots of pictures at the many family events. Each year Jeanette looked forward to spending winters in Florida, camping in their RV, and enjoying weekends at their mountain camp with family and friends. Our funny stories of her will be of her ability to hide and sneak cigarettes.
    A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3, at Dewald Funeral & Cremation Services, 227 West 4th Street, Quarryville, PA 17566, with Pastor Michael Wagner officiating. There will be a viewing at the funeral home from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. Interment will be private at Georgetown United Methodist Cemetery.
