Jeanette A. McCormick was born on December 11, 1936, to John C. and Ella (Connor) Schulte of Dorchester, IA. She was baptized and confirmed at St Mary's Catholic Church in Dorchester and attended country school in the Dorchester area. Jeanette was united in marriage to John Joe McCormick on September 19, 1957, at St Mary's Catholic Church in Dorchester. They farmed in the Hanover/Dorchester area all their married life. She had a strong faith in the Lord and was a member of St Mary's Hanover Catholic Church.

Jeanette was an active farm wife and good steward of the land; growing beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. She was well known for her canned produce and baked goods - especially her delicious chocolate chip cookies.

In addition to her work on the farm, she also did painting with her brother John B. Schulte and his wife Mary. Jeanette enjoyed spending time with family, working in her garden, baking, playing bingo in Spring Grove, and going to the boat with her brother Lloyd and his wife Ruth Anne.

She was a loving mother and grandmother; family was the most important thing to her. She will be greatly missed by those that loved her. Jeanette was a beautiful person – both inside and out.

Jeanette is survived by her children: Bob, Ron (Lori), Judy, and Jean (Dave); grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Andrea (Eddie), Julian, Jalen, Jacob, Nick, Trent (Jayne), Gabe, Grant, Genevieve, Griffin, Miranda (Dustin), Brody, Adley, Morgan, Zoey, and Bailey. She is also survived by sisters-in-law: Jean Schulte, Ruth Anne Schulte, Rita Schulte, Marlene (Tom) Dorn and brother-in-law Jim (Karen) McCormick.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband John Joe in 2004; her son Tom in 1987; two sisters: Margaret Tierney-Wiltgen and Angela Regan; and five brothers: John B., Cletus, Norbert, Greg, and Lloyd.

Jeanette's family will serve as casketbearers.
