She loved spending time at the beach with girlfriends or watching her grandchildren play in the sand. Jeanie loved relaxing at their mountain house in North Carolina with her husband. She made entertaining look easy and loved throwing a party for family and friends. Jeanie had a servant's heart, quietly doing for others and never asking for anything in return.
