Following graduation, Jeanette was employed by First National Bank in Watertown, South Dakota. On December 21, 1957, she married Stanley Seefeldt at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Clark. Shortly after their marriage, her husband re-enlisted in the U.S Air Force. They spent the next eight years traveling with tours of duty in Colorado, Minnesota, Japan, Thailand and California.
