Jeanette was a lifelong Ohioan, having graduated from Scott High School in the Class of 1932 and attended The University of Toledo. On September 4, 1936, Jeanette eloped with the love of her life, Theodore (Ted) Habib, and raised their three children in Toledo. Her husband, Ted; son, Stuart and brother, Jamille Jamra, preceded Jeanette in death.

Jeanette had a passion for health and wellness that she practiced throughout her long life with good nutrition, daily walks, golfing and bowling. She also loved to travel and never lost her wonder for far-away places. Closer to home, Jeanette and Ted were regular attendees at the Masters Tournament at Augusta National for many years where they would split up to follow their respective favorites -- Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. As an accomplished pianist, Jeanette shared her talent and taught many Toledoans how to play. Jeanette was also a devoted parishioner of Trinity Episcopal Church where she worshipped regularly for many years and was a member of the Altar Guild.
