Jeanette Helman died peacefully on October 4th in Seattle, WA. She was born in Winifred, Montana, on June 5, 1915, one of five children.

Jeanette always had a kind word and cheerful greeting for all those that knew her. Love was always her guiding example for her children and grandchildren, family and friends. Besides involving herself with family, she was an avid bridge player and a huge Seattle sports fan, especially passionate for "her" Mariners. She also loved all her Scottish terriers over the years including her latest, Maggie.
