Jeanette was born February 28, 1939, in Chicago, and passed away, surrounded by her family, June 11, 2026, in Glen Ellyn.

Jeanette was the beloved wife of the late Charles W. Meinhardt (2023); loving mother of Michael (Amy Watroba) Meinhardt, Karl (Laura) Meinhardt and Carol (Dean) Dellaria ; loving grandmother of Christina, Kurt, Sean, Julie and Ella, Vincent, Sammantha, and Jenna; dear daughter of the late Frank and Catherine (nee: Prindle) Pedote; fond sister of the late Edward (Sheila) Pedote.

Jean was a past member of St. Francis de Sales Parish in Lake Zurich for 40 years, where she was a Eucharistic minister, and member of many other ministries in the parish. She was an avid traveler and an incredible Italian cook. During the course of her life, she worked in the banking and insurance industries, but her most cherished title was that of mother.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations would be appreciated to Hinsdale Humane Society.
