I have known the Petersons' since I was 6 years old. Mr. And Mrs. Peterson were like grandparents to me growing up. When I lost my mom and dad Jeanette and Margaret were there to support me with love and prayers. They taught me so much about life. We shared many dinners and fellowship, and our love for baking. They are together in heaven now. I will miss Jeanette so much. Much love to Pam and family.

You could say that Jeanette was my Sunday School teacher my entire life. She taught so many different classes at church from enrollment classes to Bible Study and of course Sunday School. I spent so much time at the church, Jeanette and Margaret were family. When I was dedicated they gave me a teddy bear that I keep in a place at home that I can see it. Every time I look at the bear I knew that Jeanette was praying for me. We were not ready for her to go, but God was ready to take her home. Jeanette will be deeply missed.

Pam and family:
Known Jeanette all my life grew up the Salvation Army with her teaching me so many things. We spent many times in the home with Jeanette Margaret and Mom and Dad. One of my fondest memories is a twirling top that top they always had in the closet. Well he's got ice cream or some sort of dessert whenever we were there to visit. Jeanette and Margaret were great role models for so many. Their belief in God, his love and his forgiveness, teaching us about heaven and and God's grace.
My parents Ray and Dolores Wilson always great friends with them and they both passed away in 2016. I will always remember them found me In My heart and keep you in my prayers.
God bless you and the rest of the family. May you find peace knowing that they are in God's arms now arms now and watching over you. Love

Jeanette (and her sister Margret) were wonderful and gracious women of faith who loved God, loved their Church and Church family with each officer who came their way. We were blessed to know Jeanette and we will be praying for comfort and peace for her family.
