Jeannette was born in Bridgeport on November 3, 1927, daughter of John C. Stawarky and Lillian Roscoe Stawarky. She was a graduate of Harding High School and Bryant College's secretarial program earning an associates degree.

She still found time to be active for many years in the Bridgeport Garden Club and volunteering with the Women's Auxiliary at St. Vincent's Hospital and other civic groups in the Bridgeport area. She accompanied her husband on numerous trips to Europe, Africa, and Asia and for many years on their annual ski vacation to the American Rockies with friends from the Sterling Ski Club of Stratford. Most recently, she was a regular lector at daily mass at St. Theresa Church in Trumbull. She is survived by her brother John C. Stawarky of Trumbull. She was the loving mother of Evan Lawrence of Cambridge, NY, V.
