Jeanette Moore

Jeanette Vera Moore, 87, passed into the loving arms of God on Saturday, December 12, 2015. Jeanette was born on March 20, 1928, to Gerald and Martha Wheaton of Muskegon, Michigan. She was preceded in death by her sister and brother-in-law, Marietta and Gerard Hasper of North Muskegon. She was married to Richard S. Moore for 62 years until his death in 2009.

Jeanette is survived by one brother, Richard (Dorotha) Wheaton of Indio, California. Jeanette is also survived by three children: Linda (Dave) Pendell of Bloomington, Illinois; Ann (Russ) Flermoen of Saint Johns, Michigan; and Mark (Sandy) Moore of Arbor, Michigan. Jeanette leaves behind a legacy of 6 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Jeanette worked as a secretary for the Muskegon Public Schools. An avid reader, she also enjoyed playing cards and indulged her husband's enthusiasm for sailing, spending lots of time in a variety of water craft. Jeanette was blessed with a marvelous singing voice which she shared with appreciative church and civic groups in the Muskegon area as well as Naples, Florida.

Upon her retirement, Jeanette and Richard traveled extensively in both the United States and Europe. They settled in Naples, Florida where they lived for 25 years, spending the summer months at a home in Hendersonville, North Carolina as well as visiting family in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Jeanette and Richard returned to Michigan in 2008, residing Saint Johns.

Arrangements are being made through Osgood Funeral Home in Saint Johns. An internment service is planned for the spring. Memorials can be made to the First United Methodist Church of St. Johns, 200 East State St., St. Johns, Michigan 48879.

Jeanette's lively wit will be missed by all who loved her.
