She worked hard all of her life and had so very little. She had a huge faith in God. She was always close to Him. She belonged to the RLDS as it was called then. Her husband Muerl Page Mead and she had 3 children.
She had a hard life. Raising 3 children alone. Her husband dying young. She baked bread and took in washing on a board. Done ironing. Just anything she could to make it. My mother hated oatmeal, and that was all Jeanetta could afford to give them for breakfast. She had to eat it so much when she was growing up. Funny thing though there was a favored dish all of her life and that was beans, fried taters and cornbread. That too was one of the meals that went with the poor, yet Mother loved it. So not all the things Nettie fed to her children because of lack of money ended up on the dislike list.
News clipping found in my mother's paper, source of the newspaper is unknown.
Mrs. Jeanette E. Mead, 71, of 8600 Hillcrest, at 10 o'clock Wednesday at the Carson chapel, Independence; burial in the National cemetery, Springfield, MO. Friends may call from 7 to 9 o'clock tonight at the chapel.

Mrs. Jeanetta E. Mead
Mrs. Jeanetta E. Mead, 71 of 8600 Hilcrest, died yesterday at the Indepencence Hospital. She was born in Branson, MO., and lived here three years, Mrs. Mead was a retired cook. Surviving are a son Cecil F. Mead, Los Angeles; two daughters, Mrs. Anna F. Davis of the home, and Mrs. Mildred J. Sanchez, Belen, N. M.; a brother Howard Finch, Eureka, Calif., a sister, Mrs Fern Kettlewood, Los Angeles; 14 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
Jeanetta lived in Oregon for a while, there she was a cook at a nursing home. She had room and board. When I was just a little girl I got to go see her there. Her room small, and she sat in a rocking chair trying patiently to show me how to crochet. She was left handed, and and I was not.
Yes, it is known who her father was, not where he is buried. Her mother divorced him, and we really do not care very much where he may be.
