She married Dr. Gerald Nelson on September 9, 1967 in St. James Catholic Church in Jacobs Prairie, and they were blessed with 3 children. After her marriage, she joined her husband working as a bookkeeper at the various pet clinics he started. Jeannie's faith was very important to her as was her charity to others.

Jeannie enjoyed cooking, baking, reading, quilting, socializing and following her kids and grandkids in Rocori Sports. Most of all, she loved being a mom and grandma. She was always the go-to for her family to fix most of their problems and will forever be missed.
