Jeanette moved to Indio, CA in the 50's from Alberta and began to raise a remarkable family of 5 kids - Tim, Terry, Toby, Tom and Tina. A rowdy bunch of kids that were constantly on the go with the dirt bikes, cars and everything in between. All went on to successful careers and families here in the Valley. Your mom was so proud of all of you.
Jeanette was a wonderful lady full on spit and vinegar and with a world sized heart and love for her family, their kids, grand children, and great grand children. She gathered quite a flock. I attended a party held for her grandson getting ready to return to Afghanistan last summer. As the matriarch of the Stanford clan, she held court with a pride in her eye for everyone.
I will remember Jeanette for her smile, her honesty, her wonderful outlook on life and her willingness to fight and speak her mind. She will be missed and remembered by many.
You touched so many lives God Bless you Jeanette Stanford.
