Deanna, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful mom. Jeanette was a beautiful & talented person, and I will always cherish the artistic work she performed in my home and the bushels of crabs she delivered to my home on the weekends. Take comfort in knowing that your mom is now resting in the arms of our Lord. When you lose a loved one here on earth, you gain an angel in heaven that watches over you. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Annette, Susan, Carol and the rest of Jeanette’s family and friends. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Love always, Kim

We have lost another great soul who we were very lucky to have known; an awesome person who filled the universe with love, peace and goodness wherever she was. May everyone who knew her take comfort knowing that she is in a better place where there are no limits and no restrictions. Farewell to a wonderful person who made this world a better place and who we will miss deeply and profoundly. I pray someday we will all be reunited in Love and Light when the barriers of this earth have dropped away. Rest in peace beautiful Jeanette, we will treasure the memories you gave us and the time we had with you.

I am so saddened by the passing of my friend, Jeanette. I first met Jeanette and Annette in 1981 while working for Maryland Drywall. Over the years we worked on many jobs together with another company, William H. Walston. Jeanette & Annette were inseparable, they were the “dynamic duo”. Jeanette was very talented at her trade and took extreme pride in her work. There was never a dull moment on the job with the twins. Their relaxed attitudes made it a pleasure to go to the job site everyday. Since retirement, I have come to appreciate how
lucky I have been to have her in my life. Jeanette will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
RIP Sister❤️

While we know she is in a better place, she is going to be missed greatly by all who knew her. Let the many great memories you shared through out your life with her help to heal the space that feels so empty right now. We hope to see you soon so we can give you a great big hug.
May She Rest in Peace
