Jeannette was born to Joe and Babe Manola on August 12th, 1937 in Chicago, IL and moved to Three Tree Point, WA in 1941. She treasured a childhood on the beach with a brother and parents she adored.

Jeannette graduated from Highline High School in 1956 and married her high school sweetheart, Earl Patrick Kinnear, Jr. on April 11, 1958. They settled in the heart of Three Tree Point and welcomed three children in five years.

Pat and Jeannette enjoyed boating on the May Lyn through the Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, built their remote mountain cabin in 1983, and traveled around the country twice in a 5th wheel.

Jeannette lost the love of her life on September 16, 2004, but with the help of high school friends, she reconnected with classmate Gordon "Gordy" Neale and together they got a second chance at love and companionship.

In 2018, Jeannette returned to Three Tree Point and cherished living with her daughter and family. She remained the most loving, graceful, brave and resilient woman and the very best mother, grandmother and friend. Time spent with her children and grandchildren was her greatest joy. She often said in the last chapter of her life, "I am so blessed."

Jeannette passed peacefully on June 30th, 2023 at home with family by her side. Jeannette's loving legacy is carried on by her three children Kathy (Todd), Kevin (Kara) and Kraig (Melissa); her eight grandchildren Molly, Patrick, Amber, Ben, Cody, Josh, Joe and Cheyenne; and two great-grandchildren Noah and Jonah. She is also survived by her brother, Thomas J. Manola.

Her life will be celebrated in September of 2023.
