Traveling the world with her husband who served in the U.S. Navy for twenty years, they shared many wonderful experiences in several different regions of the United States as well as several countries overseas. Upon Richard's retirement from the service in 1975, they settled in San Angelo, Texas for many years before returning to New England to be near their large extended family.

A member of Sacred Hearts Parish, of Bradford and a former member of Saint Joseph Parish of Haverhill and Holy Angels Parish of Plaistow, Jeannette was a resident of Plaistow for twenty-five years until returning to Haverhill in 2012. She was employed locally as a stitcher at Brentwood Lounge Furniture Co. of Haverhill and most recently at Med-Tronics of Haverhill.
