    Goodbye to one of our best friends. We are so sorry that we are so far away and can't be there to say "so long" until we meet again on that golden shore. We always had so much fun together and we have missed you and Gale so much the last few years, playing Euchre, going square dancing or out to dinner. Now you are with Gale once more. Enjoy until we get there. Goodbye sweet lady! We love 💕 you!

    Jeannie was an awesome lady. Full of life, laughter, and so much fun to be around! I worked with her at spring mill inn when I was 15 years old and very much enjoyed being around her. She and Gale were also very good friends with my parents David (Sharon) Williams. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. My parents and I are so sorry we could not attend the services to pay our respects as we are out of town. Prayers for the family!!
