Jeannine was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. She had surgery and chemotherapy. . Through this troubled time, her family and friends rallied behind her with support and prayers. But Jeannine was the inspiration. She didn't miss a beat. She threw herself into her family, work and chorus. Many times she came to rehearsal, cheerful, smiling directing and teaching choreography, yet no one knew how exhausted she was from the treatment. She is now cancer free.
