fremont, NE Monday, January 9, 2017 FAMC was lucky to have a true professional in Jeanette.....and the community to have her as a wonderful person...she will be missed....Chris and Lisa Wiebelhaus
Kansas City, MO Friday, January 6, 2017 What a fine human being. The world has lost someone wonderful. I met her 28 years ago and the Wiebelhaus' when she and Allen were over to play cards and she was so genuine and easy to talk to, I enjoyed seeing her at times throughout the years and I am so sorry Allen for your loss. There are just some people who really touch your lives in a positive way and she was one of those for me. I was especially impressed that she had a career during a time when many women didn't often forge that path, she inspired me in that way, I know how many obstacles she must have faced in a male driven world in the field that she chose. Chris and I will always think of her fondly.Karen Speicher
