Weber on April 21, 1947, at St. Mary’s Church in Dubuque.  He preceded her in death on February 21, 2006.

Jeanette was a member of Nativity Church from the day after her marriage, and became active in the parish so she could make friends and become part of the community.  During her years at Nativity she was a Eucharistic Minister, Lector, member of the Nativity Choir, and a long time volunteer.  She was a member and president of the Women’s Guild, was voted as a member of the Parish Council, twice, and belonged to the Rosary Society.  Jeanette also led the Rosary Society Honor Guard for many wonderful prayerful years.

She was President of the Dubuque Women’s Club, on the board of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra, President of the Xavier Hospital Guild and President of the Immaculate Conception Academy Alumnae Society.  She was the first chairman of the Xavier Hospital Follies, and also appeared in some of them.
