JEANETTE PETERS

Jeanette Peters, the daughter of Gerrit and Anna (Verdoorn) Oldenkamp was born September 22, 1920 in rural Hospers, Iowa. She received her education in Hospers, graduating from Hospers High School. She went on to further her education at Sioux City Academy Beauty College. On January 30, 1944, she was united in marriage to Johnnie Peters in Worthington, Minnesota. After their marriage the couple lived in rural Cleghorn and Paullina, before moving into Paullina in 1952. For over 50 years, she operated Jeanette’s Beauty Shoppe in Paullina until her retirement. Her husband preceded her in death on July 22, 1999 in Sheldon. She continued to make her home in Paullina until July of 2006, when she moved to the Paullina Care Center. She passed away on Friday, May 4, 2007 at the Orange City Area Health System, reaching the age of 86 years, 7 months and 12 days.
She was a member of the Oakdale Evangelical Free Church in rural Meriden, Iowa. Her faith was very important to her as she taught Sunday School, led Bible Classes and played both piano and the organ in church. She was a caring and compassionate mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who always put others first. Her joy for life included spending time with her family, playing cards, fishing and having a big garden with many flowers.
