We know that she is back with our Heavenly Father and is having a happy reunion with many of her loving family on the other side.
Jeannette loved to crochet and made beautiful afghans, baby blankets and other beautiful items. She gave almost all of these beautiful works as gifts of love, rarely keeping anything for herself.

On your birthday, she religiously called to sing Happy Birthday. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make people smile.
She loved beautiful flowers. One of her favorite things to do was take bouquets to the cemetery to place them on the graves of loved ones. She didn’t need a special occasion or wait for Memorial Day. She simply enjoyed visiting the gravesites and had such strong faith in the hereafter and in this sweet way, wanted to stay in touch with those who had gone before.
Jeannette is survived by her children, Steven, Debbie, Bryan, and Ryan Gibson and several loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Keith, three of her children: Dianna, Robert and Bonnie; and her granddaughter, Destiny Solock.
