Jeannette was born on November 2, 1929 in Rochester, NY to the late Anna and William Terpstra. She graduated from Rochester’s East High School in 1948 and then attended Rochester Business School. She was first employed in the payroll department of E.P. Reed Shoe Co., and then in the Cost Estimation Department of the Rochester Products Division of General Motors, where she met her husband of 66 years, Gabriel.

Jeannette loved volunteering her time to the community and did so often and in a variety of ways. But above all else, she was devoutly religious and was a dedicated and enthusiastic member of Ward Presbyterian Church. There she served on the Executive Board as a Deacon, where she especially enjoyed helping with communion and baptism celebrations as a Church Life chairperson, and as a long-time member of the Chancel Choir.

Jeannette’s other activities through the years were varied and included two terms as President of the North Farmington Garden Club, which awarded her a Lifetime Membership Award for outstanding contributions; involvement in the Girl Scouts; and participation as a 40-year member of a local bowling team.

Jeannette was a loving wife and devoted mother who is survived by her husband Gabriel; her children Suanne Tiberio Trimmer (Kevin) of Charleston, SC and Steven J.
