Jeannie enjoyed going to USO dances, and she said that she completely overlooked that Dale, her handsome sailor, could not dance a single step, because he was, as she always said, "so beautiful." After a very brief courtship, they were married in New York, New York before he shipped out for duty in the North African campaign. After the War, they lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Dale completed his Pre- Med studies, and in little Rock, Arkansas where he graduated from Medical School. Jeannie loved the years they lived in Morrilton, Arkansas where she was a housewife, a mother, and a member of Sacred Heart Church while Dale practiced medicine with the Mobley Clinic. She later lived in Saudi Arabia when Dale practiced medicine with Arabian American Oil Company. In later years, she and Dale returned to Arkansas, and lived for 20 years in Dierks, Arkansas. Most recently, she resided in DeQueen, Arkansas, and Russellville, Arkansas.

She is also survived by her six grandchildren: Allison Driver Rule, Joshua Gullett, Ben Gullett, Matt Williams, Ashley Driver, and Brian Williams, one great-grandchild, Lauren Rule, as well as many nieces and nephews. Jeannie was a gentle and loving person. She loved babies and children most of all and was never happier than when her grandchildren arrived or when they visited her as they grew up.
