Jeanette was born the 3rd daughter to Barney and Elsie (Obermark) Metcalf on November 24, 1930 on a 100-acre farm near Rosebud, IL, in Pope County, IL. She graduated Golconda High School in 1949 then set off to see the world. She lived in England for two years, Florida for seven years, then Alaska for 4 years. Jeanette finally settled down in Nashville, TN, with her husband Wayne where she worked for the Lance Corporation as a secretary. After retirement, they made their way to Wildwood, FL where she would reside for the next 25 years. During that time, she was a member of 1st Baptist Church of Wildwood where she was active with her Sunday school class and assisted with preparing the funeral meals.

Jeanette enjoyed gardening and tending to her plants, traveling (and had been to 46 of the 50 states), but most of all, she loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. She was a wonderful and unique woman and is going to be missed.

Jeanette is survived by two sisters, Margie Hobbs of Elizabethtown, IL, and Dorothy Mohr and husband Jerry of Metropolis, IL; nieces and nephews, Pam Friedley, Jeffrey Sielbeck, Victoria Riley, Rick Metcalf, Tim Metcalf, Robin Hunt, Kelly Hughes, and Tracy Lynch; as well as several great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Wayne Lindsey; siblings, Maxine Leach, Phyllis Sielbeck, Ted Metcalf and an infant sister.
