Jenette was an active member in her community and church in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, Fort Myers, Florida and Cave Creek, Arizona. Her mother taught her to love God, and each other and to live by example. Jenette did this as a homemaker, active church member and loving mother and passed these ideals on to her children so they could teach this to their children.
