She taught in Ogden City schools, Weber Junior College, and Brigham Young University where she retired after serving 18 years.Jeannette traveled extensively in Europe and spent a sabbatical year in London, England, pursuing post graduate study.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Katherine M. Garner; brothers, Joseph and David Morrell; and sister-in-law, Marjorie Morrell.
She is survived by a flock of nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews who adore her, and friends so dear they constitute her extended family. She is also survived by sister-in-law, Patricia Morrell; and brother-in-law, Hugh Garner.
A generous lady, she shared her lively wit with a world sorely in need of her light touch. We will miss her.
