She was born on Oct. 9, 1943, in Freeport, Ill., the daughter of David and Pauline Southwick. Jeannie had a lifelong love for fishing, artwork, caring for her cats and watching “spook” movies. She worked for many years as a hospital Monitor Tech both in Rhinelander, Wis., and Meriter Hospital, Madison, from where she retired in 2009. Jeannie was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Gary Grummer of Fitchburg; niece, Ericka (Chris) Page; and great-nephew, Jace Page all of Bettendorf, Iowa. The family wishes to thank the staff of St. Mary’s Care Center, Madison, for their love, care and support while Jeannie made it her home for the last four years. It was there she made some of her best friendships with both residents and staff and it was there she lived some of the happiest days of her life.
