Jeannine was a College Graduate and a retired Administrative Assistant from The Department of Revenue with the State of Georgia. She was very proud of her education having been raised in the red clay of Haralson County and scraping the dirt for everything she received. She moved to Decatur. Georgia and managed a family and household while working full time managing her numerous department heads and their needs. She was very involved in the political arena and stayed involved during her lifetime.

She returned to the county in which she was raised when she retired and toiled the clay to raise beautiful gardens, meditation areas and teach many of us the beauty of the earth. She had vast amounts of knowledge of the earth that she had gained from listening to those before here and reading, which she did until the day she left us. Our memories and the beauty of her flowers and trees and the animals she loved will be entwined in our memories forever.
