Jeanette has always answered the creative calling on her life: teaching; creating visual art of all media including banner making and calligraphy; writing; and raising her family. Maria's Memories is the first of two family history books Jeanette has written, the second being the story of the family she married into entitled A Godly Heritage. Jeanette, with her husband Elmer, have three grown children who are all married and have given her a total of seven grandchildren. A few passions she has passed down to her family include her love of Jesus, art, books, biology, adventure and cats. Jeanette still makes her home in Yorkton, SK.
