Graduating from Cambridge Springs High School with the Class of 1954, Jeannie worked during her high school years at the San Rosario Nursing Home in Cambridge Springs. Following graduation she worked for Hoyt and Shorts Grocery in Cambridge Springs and as an Avon representative while at the same time raising her three sons.

Much of Jeannie's time was spent in the First Baptist Church in Cambridge Springs where she was a life-long member. She served as a deaconess for many years and with the American Baptist Women. More recently, she was involved with the Kid's Club, helped in the Garden Room, and was in charge of funeral dinners and other special occasions. Jeannie was dedicated to the Chautauqua Institute Baptist House where she was secretary for many years, assisted with the Cambridge Springs school release time program and was a member of the Cambridge Springs women's Gam-Sac-Mah Club. Additionally, Jeannie enjoyed associating with the Edinboro University retired ladies group (the lunch bunch).
