loving wife and mother, passed

WA due to cancer. Jeannette

was born August 6, 1937 in

Lincoln, NE. Her family moved

to Allentown in the early 1940’s.

Jeannette grew up there and as

a teen in the summer she would

If you didn’t know my mom personally

you may know her as the little white haired

lady in the 1970 green Ford

Maverick that cruised around

Auburn. She bought that car in

1970 and drove it til this year.
